Report “Building can't be placed there" when building on water is appeared only when worker come near the building place.

Because worker come and saw that building can't be placed there.

If you try to build on in invalid location, I think either the AI should calculate the nearest valid spot to build it, or just give you the invalid message instantly.

This is normal, I guess this could just be improved. Maybe during the merge/after the merge.

Because worker come and saw that building can't be placed there.

That's a really good explanation!

There's the red tint on the building preview while you are placing it in a location where it cannot be built. The problem with telling you in advance that the building cannot be built there is that i can be incorrect. By the time the worker arrives there, another bunch of workers may have harvested the one tree which was in the way. So in fact you could build the building by then even though it seemed like you could not by the time the command was given.

This should be for things like morphing in an invalid position too, also if you don't have enough ep etc.
