Well me and my friend are working on a LotR map.
We THOUGHT it would be a good idea to add a whole bunch of Dark Swarms to the inside of Mount Doom...
Turns out its not a good idea, and at the beginning of the game a couple of "Can't Place Unit (Dark Swarm)" are seen
I've tried to remove the Dark Swarms, but I can't click or drag a box around them, which means I can't remove them, which is a bad thing.
Does anyone know how to remove those Swarms?
Thanks in advance

click on the exact middle instead of dragging. a easy way to do this is select darkswarm and place it over the one you're trying to remove until the green turns red (which means thats where the middle is). right click, left click, delete and it's removed. or if you don't have any units in a place where its' not suppose to be (buildings on water), you can use base mode and it will instantly remove anything thats not placable. and easier to select too!

More importantly, you shouldn't even have this problem. You can place the dark swarms in Base Mode or Classic Mode of X-tra editor without a problem. If you use special mode or StarForge you risk doing that with ANY unit placeable... So anyway, just use a regular placement mode and you shouldn't have any problems.
OMG CheeZe that's what I do -_- But I use it for doors.

OMG me too. Perhaps thats because it is the easyest way to delete it. (other then opening the map in SCM Draft or Starforge.)

Well, before I used Starforge, I used to do something like that...
I just click on the middle of the door/DSwarm/Web
I love pixel art skillz...

I never did that because I don't usually use special mode
