AI cannot build building because a bear is inside

[0adda0]

AI placed a building over a bear. This caused the building to not being built at all, I guess due to a constraint violation. I discovered the bug only at the end of the game, that area was not discovered when I saw it.

Its more pathfinder issue. @wraitii

Or bear can't get away bc units are blocking or it thinks its away.

@0adda0 can you upload the replay of the match?

I hope this is the proper replay/file you need

Also, I do think is kinda both, because it seems that the bear cannot find its way out and it tries to attack the people which are building it which are blocking him inside.

You are right. You could actually try killing the bear in this situation. Or briefly walk away with the majority of builders to let the bear out. When you place a building on a unit and try to start building, the unit tries to leave the space to allow the construction to actually start. One problem is that units like chicken or sheep move rather slowly, so it can take time for them to leave. Another problem is when the workers block the way out as is your case. Killing the animal will allow to start building over it, but you won't be able to collect any meat anymore. A bear is actually a great food boost early into the game, so it's mostly better to keep it if possible.

Reporting the bug as was done is by far the best course of action

What one could do is different from this case, where the AI can't solve the situation and is supposedly stuck forever. Would hate it if it were my ally wasting time indefinitely.
