Selling/Demolishing Buildings?

[torbk]

Is it possible to get rid of resource demanding buildings to free up those resources for something else?

I guessed if I right-clicked a building in the city menu, building-overview, that I would get to choose to sell the building. Alas, when I right click a building in the city-overview my game simply crashes. So I guess that is not it (this is also the only bug I have encountered).

Am I supposed to be able to sell or demolish buildings though? Have any of you done it?

And if so, how?

You can't demolish or sell buildings. You couldn't in Civ IV, either, without a mod. As for the crashing, my game does that a lot, usually when I open the civilopedia. I'm not sure whether clicking on the building in the city screen brings up the civilopedia, as I haven't tried it, but it seems logical enough that it would. My advice: Avoid the civilopedia, and, if you want to demolish buildings, find out how to create a mod for it.

I think the crash via the civilopedia is related to map size, honestly. It's the first symptom I note of the "overloaded map syndrome" that I find coming up on bigger maps. First it's crash when accessing an entry in the civilopedia, then it's the map slowing down on drawing the tiles, then it's crash when opening the civilopedia without even looking up an entry, then progressively greater slowdowns, followed by random lockups and crashes that become more frequent until it's unplayable.

Huge/Marathon became unplayable for me around 1500 AD (turn 800-850 if I remember correctly). Huge/Epic didn't become unplayable until the mid 1800s (turn 430-450), while a Standard/Epic map played successfully through to the end. I didn't even see a civilopedia crash until the tail end of that game.

Could it have to do something with Hardware?
(for example amount of RAM)

My System is a recent one with 3 GHz Phenom II Dualcore, 4 GB RAM and DX11 graphics hardware
and I didn´t experience a single crash of Civ V till now

Could be hardware, could be software, no idea. I'm running a dual-core E8400 Wolfdale processor @ 3 Ghz, 4 GB ram, and still running XP SP3 for the OS so it's only DX9 (9800 GTS graphics card).

Interesting, I don't click the DX9 start button and I'm on XP SP3, so I assumed I'm on DX10 or 11. I would have thought I would have to select DX9 specifically.

Normally upon clicking on the Civ V button you are given the option between starting the DX9 version or the DX 10/11 version. If it doesn´t happen in your case, it seems to confirm that Civ V automatically uses the DX 9 version for you
