Myth : Land must be flat to build gates
Truth : You can build with invariance in the land.

Myth : BUSTED !

interesting, I knew you could build like the second pic were both posts are symmetrical but not like the first. :roll:

Max is 4 level difference for 2 tiles?
or 4x2 level difference for 2 tiles allowed?

Max is 5 levels of invariance across the whole area of what ever you building.

If you are building something which is 2x2, you can have a invariance of 5 total digs from one corner to the other, so going down 2 dig each tile across. but you can go upto 5.

If its 1x1 you can have a total of 5 digs

I have only tested upto 2x2 so far and the walls, might do a big 5x5 structure later with 1 dig down on each tile.

you can create a nice little walled pyramid like this :D

A gate build with an invariance of 5 digs, 2 on 1 tile, 3 on the other.

Get your gates on. Remember guys, a +/- 5 invariance across the building.

That is very interesting. I will be using this in the future. Thank you for this information!

my ocd is telling me that invariance of 4 is best.

Yes 4 is best for if you want a better looking gate.

but if your building a long wall, you can do a 5 invariance per tile.
