Normal houses aren't anywhere 50 X 50 metres either but they block LOS in the game. Looks like you're stuck with an original SP programming decision as to how to handle fortifications. Since it's pretty basic I don't expect anything can be done about it.
I just wonder why they didn't treat fortifications as buildings. When a unit is positioned in a building it provides them with protection. Was it that they needed to treat the walls as armor with differential protection from different directions? |
It's very unfortunate to say that Don and Andy are stuck with SP programming decision regarding this so-called LOS. No they are not.
You just need to have a certain level of philosophical thinking to understand the nuts and bolts of this game.
A single hex of an urban terrain,
that is, what you perceive as a hex of a house, can not be perceived as a mere single house. No. It is an urban hex, and as such, it may mean a cluster of houses, or a 50 meter house, or whatever. It's an urban hex. Simple as that.
