[Altered Melee] Construction Idea/s

[xyzier_24]

Having only 4 ways to construct a structure is a bit boring, isn't it?
Can someone provide me new ways to construct structures? (ex. Ranged Construct)

Being able to build an entire base on water (Although you'd need to have other things to balance it out) would be pretty cool. Maybe building plots of land, which upgrade into buildings (i.e. a 'offensive' plot would be able to be upgraded into a barracks, arcane sanctum, etc.). Training units that 'unpack' into buildings could be cool as well.

If a builder-type map, placing all the necessary ressources in one area and putting them together with a "build" command. Note that this gets very difficult if there are multiple items that mask each other.

A summon type building but this time the builders mana descreaseas and you can fasten the building with increaded cost of mana while channeling from ranged

Able to build on water doesn't give a new way to construct, but could be useful.
Training units that 'unpack' into buildings I think this one is already present (NE's wisp>Ancient Structure)

A summon type building but this time the builder's mana decreases and you can fasten the building with increased cost of mana while channeling from ranged

Sounds cool and unique. Can be used to a Blood Elven race since they, y'know, thirst for magic.
