If you take a look at the updated notes on the first page, notice was given in February to the change of the production queue for destroyed buildings. This was always a bug and not something you were intended to be able to do.
As someone already said, the fact that you got to use this bug to your advantage for as long as some people did was enough.

Excellent, thanks Rill!
I don't have the ability to focus on the game and on GC, so I'm never there.

I think they said in global chat they would be working on updating the build times in current queues, but I might not have understood correctly.

Do these newer build times for crafted items apply to things already in queues?
I ask cause I got excited and set up a queue of 500 light bows a week or so back... and it is still telling me it will be done at the end of October. 
Do I have to level up my Bowyer one more time? Or cancel the queue entirely in order to get the new faster speeds?
Thank you all and nice work on this.  |

They're referring to the "set up a queue, demo the building and the queue keeps going" anomaly. I know a lot of people are upset it was fixed with no warning. Personally, any queues I set up in buildings I then had to demo for whatever reason were done in full knowledge that I might lose the queue eventually. So sure, I lost a few queues, I'm not upset about it at all.
I'm not sure why the devs have their feet held to the fire for fixing obvious game anomalies that were being taken advantage of. In any case, anyone who was taking advantage of it had probably benefitted substantially over how ever many months -- so how could you now moan about lost res? If you weighed what you've already gained vs. what you just lost, most likely you came out far ahead. As we know, the margin is astounding for a number of advanced res items, and basic res is pretty cheap and easy to come by/replace.
As for the rest of the update, I'm waiting until we're a little farther in to make a call. I am a bit unsettled by how much more time my regular duties are taking now. Have to keep reminding myself: they're optional!!!! |
Is this SERIOUSLY what these ppl are complaining about? I wasn't exactly sure what it is these ppl were getting at. If i'm not mistaken, that can be seen as exploiting a BUG, and people are complaining about not being able to do it anymore.. On the forum. *Facepalm*

Looks to me like building a level 1, queuing, then demolishing. This has been changed to not be allowed, and I think that's for the better.
Oh and Devs, thanks for this update. The explanation really helps, and I'm loving the new demolish button.

I still think you can play this game on a casual level and I think the update will give more conflict. More conflict will make you check in more often as well.
I have no clue what you are talking about in the queue thing. I got a message also but that was from a building not even in the town any more.
If people are sitting on a huge pile of resources the devs need to look into the diplomatic part of the game soon so that we can do something about that beside taking over towns.
