Suggestion: Demolish Completely, or Demolish to Level.

Realistically, it should take less time to completely raze a building, than to carefully re-purpose it to be a fully-working facility at a lower level.

I propose a 'vector length' calculation of the demolition time, e.g.

timeToDemolish(fromLevel, toLevel) =

sqrt( t(fromLevel)^2 + t(fromLevel-1)^2 + .... + t(toLevel)^2 )

So you might have L20 to L0 taking about 25% of the time of individual demolitions, and as one building queue item.

I think a complete demolision order would be a good thing +1

I like this, I don't really care about how long the demolish itself takes. But its really annoying to have to come back every 2min and say demolish another level.

Thinking about it like that, and disregarding the 'this should take less time' angle, I see 'demolish this in one go' as a Prestige option. It's queue automation, rather than material benefit.

Same here. It's a sensible option. I can see why they wouldn't offer it for leveling UP, as resource costs and upkeep make it far more variable. But 99% of the time, when you click demolish, you want to destroy the whole building. Why not allow players to queue the entire demolition at once?

My original suggestion was:

A small change which I'd be happy to pay prestige for: 'Demolish all' for a building, which would take the same amount of time but mean I don't have to keep a constant eye on that city to keep demolishing. 5 prestige or something to 'demolish all' would be very worthwhile imo.

No need to reduce the time taken, simply let me pay for the privilege of demolishing my building with 1 click and let me get on with more important things.
