Summary	0016690: Display lack of cash and lack of population in the same tooltip
Description	It's annoying to save up for an expensive building, only to find that I also don't have enough population. The tooltip won't display both at the same time. I could always check the building detail screen, but having to reach for the keyboard makes that a bit annoying to use (and it's annoying that the keyboard's involved when the right mouse button lies fallow and the mouse is necessary to play the game anyway, but I digress.) I don't want the tooltip to spend two lines listing them both, a lot of other things could use that space (and I have that annoyingly small monitor, so screen real estate is at a premium). How about removing "You don't have enough crowns!" and coloring "Crown Cost" red when the player's short of cash? That'd be a bit annoying, though: harder for new players to understand, and the player would have to look at the start of the tooltip for cash problems and to the end for population problems. So how about making a new message that says "You're short on crowns, and need X more citizens living in Y housing"? - Kizor, who isn't easy on the nerves himself ;)

keith.lamothe May 23, 2015 1:53 pm administrator ~0041096	For 0.841: * Replumbed the "can tile type X be placed on tile Y?" logic and other related can-build-this logic to be have an alternate mode where it returns a full list of all the preventing reasons rather than just stopping when it hits the first error. ** This is used for the tooltips when you're in placement mode mouseovering the map, and for the tooltips on the build menu items. So it will tell you both that you're short on crowns and that you don't have enough citizens in whatever housing, etc. Thanks :)
