Status: offline 		Confused. When a city has, e.g. 8/8, can you build a mansion or plantation at that point to add more buildings?

If not, is there any way to destroy a building?

If you want a building destroyed just piss off the citizens and maybe they'll do it for you.

Status: offline 		What is the total building limit 32 or 36? (after plantations?) I can't even get the build screen to come up in '64 for Richmond - I guess it is maxed.

I was looking at expanding Pittsburgh, and it was at 8/8.  I had the resources, yet could not expand.  Not sure if it's a bug but will get back to you on that. . .

Believe me 8 is no where near the limit. Either you didnt have the needed material OR you were not building a mansion.

Status: offline 		Mansions can be built on either side, plantations just in the South. These can be built at ANY time -- no need to wait until a city is at 4/4 or 8/8, etc. They do not count towards the building maximum, so a city at 8/8 can still have one built. There is no way to destroy buildings, since there should never be a need to do so if one is running this aspect of the game well.
