Creep spawning overtop of hostile creep
-
I've noticed what I believe is a bug.
If a spawn surrounded by 7 friendly creeps and 1 hostile creep spawns an 8th friendly creep, the hostile one is overwritten.
See here -> https://screeps.com/a/#!/history/shard1/W41N51?t=6947136
Ringo86's Brawler6946601 is there at 6947136, and then replaced with Blaugaard's harvester6946993 at 6947137.
Perhaps this is an intended interaction that I am not aware of.
Cheers

I think this is not a bug. It was implemented so you couldn't surround a spawn to prevent defenders from spawning. I guess maybe there's an unintended side-effect.
Hmm, or maybe it is a bug.

Thanks @tigga, that makes sense.
I've just found a previous discussion about it as well.
https://screeps.com/forum/topic/273/discussion-spawn-insta-kill-mechanicSeems wrong that a small creep can destroy a large attacker creep.
If I build 7 bulky walls around my spawn, I could kill any melee attacker that didn't know to kill the walls before the spawn...
