Buying and demolishing of buildings April 24, 2010, 06:52:23 pm I wanted to buy some houses and I found something very interesting:Buying of houses has not the same expensiveness as demolishing of houses. Demolishing of building with price called 43 000 cost 43 000 but buying of the same building cost less then 1 000.Why? I think that this difference should not be alive.I currently play with release version 3157. Quote Selected

Re: Buying and demolishing of buildings Reply #6 – April 28, 2010, 09:36:29 am I'm currently working on a feature in Experimental that will add the cost of buying a city building to the cost of demolishing a city building that one does not already own, and will then make the greater cost the buying rather than the demolishing.
