Summary0011213: Slight rewording of tooltip plus extra related idea
DescriptionRegarding the tooltip that says "Too close to a town center: you can only place Town Buildings in the two rings next to town centers."

As a newbie, I wasn't 100% sure what constitutes a town building -- yes it may seem pretty obvious -- but early in the game I kept thinking that I was trying to place a Town Building as this text sort of implied this to me. I thought "you can only place Town Buildings" was referring to my currently selected construction.

A clearer wording of this would be "Too close to a town center: only Town Buildings can be placed in the two rings next to town centers." This is no way implies that my currently selected item is a Town Building. Much clearer for newbs.

A further improvement to this would be to have more specific contextual tips, such as "[Fisherys/Woodcutters..etc] cannot be built within two ringed tiles of a town center". This type of specific wording would be much nicer for the player and should be pretty easy to program by substituting a variable for the currently selected construction type.

This has long-since been resolved with all the GUI changes, mainly visually. Thanks!
