 Topic: Demolish Option: Common Grounds, Paddock
Posted: 28 Jul 2012 at 04:24 |
With the addition of the new buildings, can we gain an option to demolish the paddock and common grounds to level 0?
Dev Team, if we will not have this option, would you kindly post a reasoning why?
Much appreciated.

This seems to me a splendid idea even though I can't see me using it for the foreseeable future. To have that option will make managing upcoming new buildings that much easier and it shouldn't be detrimental to anyone (group) in particular. I support this bid!!

Ok, since this isn't getting any attention, could someone from the DEV team explain the reason why we can't do this?

They should be built like the other buildings I say.

Three thoughts spring to mind:
- Politically, re-purposing Common Ground would land you in trouble with the townsfolk.
- It would upset the game balance.
It's fairly arbitrary whether towns are extended to have two more plots, or these (Paddock, Common Ground) are allowed to be re-assigned.
- A paddock is essential for a first town.
Although I wasn't here for UI v1 (I narrowly missed it), it looks like these plots were intended as eye candy, and as essentials that a player couldn't forget to build (you do want horses for the caravans in your first town, right?). I suppose that making these plots repurpose-able would fulfil your needs, without ruining it for newbies.

The potential problem with new players trying to build, say, a cottage, instead of a paddock is apparently already addressed by the proposal: It would take them to (1) upgrade paddock to level 1, (2) research demolition, (3) destroy the paddock level, (4) build the cottage. But I guess the devs want more friction and more specialization, and therefore this good idea won't fly.

+1, please let us decide what we want to keep in advanced cities. If you have concern about new cities and players, just make demolish those buildings only available after a specific research to be done, deep in the tree....

Curious how you came up with that regarding paddock and common ground?
