Melee Night Elf Building Pathing

[Harold Grey]

I'm facing an issue on my map sometimes when playing against standard AI (standard melee teams), when one Computer player is Night Elf. The map is a modified version of Deathrose, so I'm sure this could be replicated in that map. The Night Elf team sometimes blocks itself in with its Moon Wells, significantly handicapping the team. I thought I might be able to fix this by changing the pathing map of Moon Wells to that of altars, but then they just don't build any Moon Wells. Any other ways I could deal with this without having to significantly modify the shape of the starting location?

I think the setting in object editor called "AI Placement Radius" or something like that, will make the AI space them out more. But then the map won't strictly be considered melee if you edit Object Editor settings? Is this this setting you edited or the full on pathing setting?

Short of that, sometimes even doing slight changes will cause the AI to build drastically different, in my experience.

If you increase the amount of food provided by the moon wells I assume they'd need to build less of them

I'll try out adjusting the AI placement radius!

As yet, it appears successful. I will update if anything comes up suggesting otherwise. Thank you ^.^
