Delete/Demolish Buildings

[Cougy]

How do you delete or demolish a current building in a city?

There was a button at the bottom of the building list in the demo that was greyed out. I am assuming that now functions

EDIT: Ah, the button is gone...

The button was there in the 28-March version (build 22) of the Beta, but it was greyed out.

The button disappeared in the 3-May version (build 25) of the Beta, and it is not present in the 8-May release version, although it is displayed in the manual (see p. 10).

At the moment, I have no idea how one proceeds to demolish a building (within a city).

Ah great. So it's not just me being insane then. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to delete a building. I hope they fix this in the next patch. >_____>

Yeah, I really want to be able to do this.

Indeed, turning off building should be removed, and deleting them added. Currently, there is zero reason to pay any upkeep at all for military buildings, as you can turn them off whenever you are not training or upgrading units, which is boring and stupid gameplay-wise (as you could as well remove upkeep cost, but then, turning them off would serve zero purpose).

On the other hand, removing a building would allow to save upkeep, and factor some kind of decision making, unlike turning them off which is a no brainer. There needs to be some cost for destroying a building, and some time to, to prevent the player to respec a city on the fly.

Ditto. I've already been in multiple situations in which I needed to demolish a building to make room for another (like one of the Temples you're asked to construct for a quest). It's strange that as others have pointed out, the button was there in the demo but was greyed out and now it's just gone all-together.
