1 From the shrouded tiles I am thinking this was your initial starting location? Otherwise the settler would not have been able to get onto the node tile without a fight.

The result with all the town's units getting pulled into the fight for the node is rather glitchy, though. There are various groups who have been producing bug fix patches for MoM, I will have to mention this one to them to see if they are aware of it.

Yeah, that was my starting position.

There's another case where you can have two-places-in-one but not quite. If you take a tower, and move reinforcements into that square from both sides, sometimes they aren't quite in the same place. If the tower gets attacked from one side, only the guys who reinforced the square coming in from that side will show up in the battle.

In terms of play, the only way to fix that is, when you reinforce a tower, move all the units out, wait a turn, and move all of them in again.

And if you do that, then all of them will show up when the tower is attacked from either side.

How in the heck can anyone be fixing the bugs in MOM? If they disassembled it and are working from that, they have way too much time on their hands.

Anyway, the problem here of course is that the world builder didn't check for presence of a node when placing my starting town. It doesn't come up much because the world is a big place and there aren't very many nodes, which is probably why this bug got missed originally.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if an enemy wizard had attacked my town after I cleared out the underlying node, but the game didn't develop that way. No one got anywhere near it.

3 My guess, if an enemy wizard had attacked, is that the attackers and my defenders would have met in battle, but on the field of the node, not on the field of my city. So I wouldn't have gotten any advantage from my city walls.
