Problems with the quotas

Hi,

I am trying to figure out why I get error messages when the quotas given for the settings are much higher than what I can actualy add.

My setting says that I can add 12 boss/patrol/ambushes but I can only add 1 boss, 3 patrols and 1 ambush so 5...I don't understand. it also says I can add 23 wall glowies and 26 floor glowies... I didn't try yet but I guess that too will not happen...at least the number of rescue was correct.

Are the quotas just bugged or is there some MA maths I have to apply (Like an overall total number of items or a point system applied to each item) ?

thanks

I was fooling around a little tonight and encountered the same thing.

Map says it allows 32 bosses, ambushed patrols.


1 Boss with 31 patrols works. 1 Boss with no patrols and an ambush works.

1 Boss with 20 patrols and 1 ambush doesn't.


Something apparently has occured to make patrols and ambushes mutually exclusive.

Some maps also have a front/middle/back requirement and that can mess with the other requirements.

For example: you have a map with boss at front or back and a collection only at back. You can put the boss or the collection at the back not both.

Is there a link available that lists all the limitations and the quotas for each location?

I've been looking for a link, too.

I'm not sure what would be going on with yours, unless you also have destructible objects or escorts, etc. Sometimes the spawn interact. Which map are you using?

A note on the Back, Middle, Front locations; no mater what you select for a placement it isn't strictly enforced or error handled. If the map has 1 front 2 middle and 1 back, you can place 4 back and they'll distribute to the other locations.
