:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Was playing a skirmish on Amazon map, 2v2. Spawned on north side of map. Ally spawned east of me. I went to build a Trading Post on the easternmost location but the ground was a steep hill directly over the location to place the Trading Post and the game said the terrain made it impossible to place the building. I was sad. The entire game progressed with that post left empty as not even the AI could place a Trading Post on the spot either. (See attached screenshot). This is the first time I’ve encountered this problem on this map after several previous matches.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. choose the Amazon map
  2. 2v2, two teams of two
  3. launch the game.
  4. repeat until error occurs due to randomly generated terrain and trade post placement produces the problem by chance.
