    Cancelling

    Can we please add cancelling to the game? Would be great to be able to cancel errors in the build, or cancel troop training. There doesn't need to be a reimbursement of costs, but would be amazing to actually be able to correct mistakes/strategy on the fly instead of waiting 16 to build or train.

    No reason to extra punish overtop of the gc it cost to build useless troops/acres.

    Not always player mistakes tho. Strategy could play into it. For instance, was training ospecs in hostile, turned to war and I became chain target. Would have been nice to release those specs-in-training to deal with overpop at once, instead of being punished for 10 hours and forcing me to log on every hour to release those specs. Just makes this game easier to play.

    I agree with being able to stop military training (or maybe a promotion system where you can promote specs to elites), but I don't agree with buildings. Too much of a strategic advantage.

    if you cancel them they just go into soldiers. Which can be NS'ed away. What's the problem?

    eh, I guess that's true. But either way, just because it interferes with a current tactic doesn't mean it isn't worth implementing.

    Even if you had to pay raze costs, I think you should be able to cancel buildings in progress. Troops aren't as a big of a deal and can get left as is IMO.

    odd ... canceling building in their middle of progress .... imo that's like a new way of whoring, dropping your nw into a lot lower tier to get into the ghetto ranges ... almost as bad running 50% barren to utilize the relkdnw potential and topfeed bigger kd for greater gain and lower loss. =) esp with the 90% home built; freshen up that BE and pop space and BOOM! quickier nasty 90% draft warfare...

    odd people ... definitely don't agree with it. mistake be mistake, bygone be bygone!

    i dont understand what dark azn is writing.
    i also made this suggestion. 100% agree. there are exploits for everything, instead of whining about adding something new to exploit, why not add it, and then work on addressing those exploits by changing their benefits to nil, and in doing so, stop promoting stagnation and whatnot.

    some of you guys are so vested in not seeing things change for the better that this game just gets boring.
    why shouldn't we be able to cancel buildings or trainings? can you cancel something in real life? yes. is it a fair penalty that there is no remuneration? yes. does it need further penalising? no.
    does it mean people will have to change strats? sure.
    is that any different to the myriad racial changes that happen every age? NO.

    SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WHINING?!
