Summary0016504: ability to swich ownership of buildings betwen cities
Descriptionfor example in city a I have a stupid excess of energy which I don't need but city b desperately needs energy but doesn't have construction capacity to build the energy makers it needs while growing it self so I switch over geothermal plant from city a to city b therefore solving a problem in a sensible and logical way.

Microwave Electrical Transfer Tower.
It doesn't work, neither do the other transfer functions, but the foundations are there.

Yep, the electrical tower would be the thing to do in this case.

In general the switching of buildings between one and the other city would be ripe for incredible abuses, and is kind of against the idea of separate cities -- and encourages lots of fiddling for "optimal" advanced play -- so that's definitely not something I'm interested in pursuing.

okay it seemed like a good idea at the time but hey what ever also some of these super buildings really need description's I mean for example the teleporter I cant imagine knowing that it does what it does if I was playing for the first time. ps I still think that having toltips on the racial selection set up menu would be super use full

Cheers, no problem.

And yes, absolutely every building is going to be getting a description! The entire startup screen is going to be redone -- right now you can't even pick which leader you want to be in a given race. Not only will it describe the race, it will also describe the leader within that race.

That part is a fair bit of GUI work, though, and is going to take several days at least. Right now I'm going for the things that are outright broken in terms of bugs or balance, versus things that are sources of confusion of that particular nature. Thank god we have until July for this release now, because we'd never make it on time otherwise.

hu for some reason I thought the player only got 1 leader per race that's interesting do the different races have different effects on the races your picking particulars.
