Dwarf can't build on their tunnel

Dwarves were supposed to be able to build on tunnels right? That's how I remember it.

I mean, how would they tunnel to the other side if they can't build inside it?

I thought it was a nerf to tunnels and I think that the old mechanics will not be returned. Nevertheless, I disagree with this, if you nerf the tunnels then make them so many lives that they would not be destroyed with 1 magic shot or a blow of some kind of Karahorn.

Huh. That is actually a bit unexpected.

Building from tunnels as well as melee attacking (but only melee) was supposed to be allowed. Otherwise it is not possible to defend tunnels which are coming from mountain to open area (or just clear that just started construction/that diehard imperial or phantom corpse right at the exit of tunnel from inside) or build through mountains.

@Savra only ranged attacks (throwers, shooters, siege, magic) were supposed to be disabled.
Melee attacks and construction was supposed to be allowed.

it is not possible, you can set to all or to none.

I think it is possible if we will set them to all and add some auras which will target spell range of all units inside tunnel and attack range of shooters and throwers.

This way shooters and throwers won't be able to attack and casters won't be able to cast due to casting range being 0.
But melee units and workers would be able to attack and build.

little hacky, but can work.

We in russia have proverb:
"Brave heroes always go around" in meaning that "we always try to find an easier alas longer solution".

This can be done, anyway I'll see what's wrong with the tunnels when I get there and fix the issue. I'm unsure how that happened since the only thing I changed when I edited this file last was just the image.

Needs checking.

If it is not fixed than must be fixed:
Allow for units inside to act as in tc, add for tunnel 2 auras with range 0: first affects ranged siege, shooters and throwers, reduces their attack range down by -20; second affects all units, reduces their spell range by -20.
