This works with any larger buildings (tested in scenario editor). It works, when the villager can build your building while having the opponents building only partially in line of sight. When the op. building is completely out of LOS but visible in the fog, you can’t place your building on top. If the overlap is such, that the op. building comes completely in your LOS then you cant build it. In the sweet spot in the middle you can place the building and then build it.

Thanks for giving more details. It just bothered me that this issue was posted on Reddit without getting a proper thread here where it actually helps.

I wonder if this is the same bug as Building town center over existing foundation that is out of LOS
