Odd problem this.

My view is that Sentries/Pillboxes are homologous so they're comparable to the seperate Allied and Soviet Dogs. To this end I've made it so Allies will always build Pillboxes and Soviets will always build Sentry Guns (regardless of what MCV or other tech they have).

To do this I simply made "Prerequisite=BARRACKS" for both defences, and used "ForbiddenHouses=" to stop players building both.

The problem is the AI will build both defences. I assume this is because there is no longer a side-specific Construction Yard in the "Prerequisite=" line. Changing "Owner=" to only the countries that should own the defence seems to work, but obviously I get the "new construction options" bug.

Is there any way round this?
