Can't place 16 custom boss groups, despite 16 allowed

[fitzsimmons]

Space Island map (may be an issue with others), when I try to place 16 custom boss groups, it saves without error but if I choose save and test, it shows this message:

 

"A mission has too many ambush, boss, patrol or destroy details."

"A mission has too many ambush, boss, patrol or destroy details."

 

It's repeated twice in the same dialog box.

 

If I change it to 17, the orange error shows up in the top right corner indicated that I'm over the limit.  But 16 is allowed, it just won't test.

 

If I try to republish and test instead of working locally with 16 set, I get a similar message:

 

"Unable to publish arc: A mission has too many ambush, boss, patrol or destroy details."

 

I tried with 15 and then adding 1 more separately (a council group to test).  Same thing.

 

Furthermore if I place 15, it will actually place a 16th on the map, just outside of my control.

 

Thanks,
Dave

I’ve had the same issue. You have to keep lowering numbers until the element fits, regardless of what map details say it can hold. Evidently they lie sometimes.:-)

I can echo that too - I have seen the same issue.

 

Also saw the inverse issue on a Praetorian outdoor map which said it would allow 17 front and 17 back.

 

It let me publish with well over 17 but they wouldn't show up as it really only had 17 spots to put mobs.
