build circles overlap and it look's pretty stupid. Not to mention it makes block gameplay harder(blocking with buildings).

Erm, that's not a bug. That's been in Glest in forever. The term you're looking for is "selection circle". It's completely dependent on the size value of the unit. Since it has to be a circle and will always have a diameter of the unit's size, it may appear to "overlap" at larger sizes. I don't see you proposing any alternative, though, and it's crucial that it's easy to know when we've selected units. I suppose it could be possible to implement something similar to this, which was meant to show team colour, but could be adapted for selection. However, the selection circles also show the unit's health (if rather loosely) and better represent the unit's size (the diameter of the circle will always be the exact number of cells the unit's size is, although the unit size is actually a square, while the selection circle is, well, a circle).

hmm, i do have a suggestion on semi-persistent ghost-building placement markers. That would help tremendously.

And i agree that it should be easy to select units, but perhaps the circles could be tuned when it is larger units?. (this i could be paticular usefull if you would like to make mega units like in sup commander 2).

Actually omega, i have suggested a fix for this earlier, i just called it placement marker ghost thiny something.

People liked it last time i posted the suggestion. So yes i did, not in this thread, as i tought it was some kind of bug.
