Watch Dog Questions and (sometimes) Answers
This is a good place to have a dialog about what Watch Dogs can do and what they cannot do. As the Legal Petition has no real good place for Use Cases, this page can expand on how, where and whys of Watch Dogs.
Please add your questions or comments (hopefully useful ones).
What do Watch Dogs really do?
First, think of the Dog as full sized CP that is yet unbuilt. Think of it as a square or rectanglular area that is the size of a maximum building + 10 coordinates on each side.
If you put the Dog down in the open landscape you will claim an area that is the maximum sized CP you can build with a bit of comfort zone around it.
If you have a single existing compound (more complex use cases to follow) and put your Dog down inside your CP it will guard your CP plus a comfort zone.
The Dog guard areas are flexible because not all CPs are squares or rectangles. Some CPs have unique shapes. So the Dog will guard whatever the shape is of the compound plus the comfort zone.
