v.Manstein -> Building status and stopping it (7/26/2002 7:13:15 PM) I don`t know what you guys think about it, but I think that it shouldn`t go back to zero if I halt construction. I decided to stop an expansion of a port/airfield/fortification, just to continue constructing e.g. an airfield due to emergency situations in the hope that all resources would go into the other construction, and it wiped out my accumulated 55%. When I picked it up again, I it started from zero! I would have appreciated if it continued at 55%.:eek: This is version 1.20, obviously.

[/B][/QUOTE] Between the rain, mud, jungle encroachment, possible enemy bombing, etc. it's not unreasonable, to reset the work to 0 rather than keep track of the inevitable degradation to the unfinished work.

v.Manstein -> (7/26/2002 7:45:55 PM) Degradation sounds great but it goes back to zero as soon as you stop and start it!

caine -> (7/26/2002 8:32:53 PM) Yes, I have seen the same, but I wonder if it actually drops to zero or it is only a display error.If you are in the screen pushing the button to stop but you change your mind without closing the window, I think you should be able to do that.The percentage would not have to be reset to zero until you close the window.

[/B][/QUOTE] I agree - resetting progress to 0% does not seem realistic. I think that the progress should slowly degrade over several weeks, if not several months. -Scouters

It does not do that for already built levels does it (or have I missed that?) Even bombing does not set it back a level. Of course bombing makes the percentage damage go up and it effectively acts almost like knocking it down a level.:confused:

In my opinion, if you halt working on an upgrade, the % progress should slowly fall, rather than abruptly reset to 0%. -Scouters
