Streamlined Building Demolition

With the inordinate amount of demolition these new builings are sparking I'd like to see building demolition made alot easier.

The whole 'going into the castle then finding the building on a drop down list' thing is pretty tedious... especially when it is very easy to select the wrong building from the list by accident, and there is no "would you like to confirm this demolition?" warning.

I would like to see a 'demolish' button in the same screen as the 'upgrade' buttons.

And once you accidentally start demolishing your level 20 mage tower when you were only trying to demolish a level 1 vault there is no way to cancel the demolition - IMO there should be a 2 minute 'grace' period - the same as sending armies.

I'd support a big red button at the top of the page where you'd level-up (backed by a confirmation dialog). Sov has the buttons right next to each other, which is less distinct; I've not seen complaints yet.

1 - You would not select the WRONG building to demolish because you would have to open up that specific building interface (like you do when you're upgrading) - i.e. it is MUCH harder to demolish the wrong building with my method.

2 - You would not be accidentally demolishing (instead of upgrading) because you would either have a 'confirmation box' (like when you are auto-killing or disbanding a commander) or you would have a 2 minute grace period to cancel the demolition.

3 - When you are trying to demolish many builings in many towns quickly it is very easy to click the wrong building in the list, or click the right one and the wrong one loads, and hit confirm before the drop down menu has loaded your selection (as Albatross confirms).

4 - With my suggested method it would involve loading 1 less page every time you want to demolish a building.

if i remember correctly from a few hours ago, there IS no confirmation to demolish as things stand - simply adding that would be take care of the building selection issue, although it would not clean up the undeniable clunkiness of the current demollition interface which createure rightfully points out.

this was an interface issue, not a user error.
