I am posting here a NEW way to Delete buildings .
Why ? Because in multiplayer , a lot of players delete their building when being attacked .IMO its spoils gameplay .Some units lose special attacks like Pillage .
How it now works .
The Building Sell Button is a fake button , giving information - Use Builder to delete Structure .
The Builder has a special power , altering the Commandset of the Building to allow the Sell Button.
The Building only has the sell button , nothing else .
Once active , the building has the Sell button , and will be automatically destroyed if not SOLD
The Builder can only activate this when enemies are not around .
So you can't just build a structure , then activate the sell option , waiting for an enemy to come close .Also you can't delete a Structure while the enemy is close and attacking the building .
You are forced to properly DEFEND that structure , rather than just Deleting it !
Here are the codes
CommandSet Command_Sell_NEW_BUILDING
1 = Command_Sell_NEW
End
In Building
