Moving buildings degrades them?

[erock25]

I just moved a granary using the construction tool and it went from a moderate to a small granary. What happened? I didn't gain any extra production units.

Also I tried moving a watch tower and it disappeared and I still had less than 100 production units so it did not recycle. Something is definitely screwy with the building move feature.

yea....there's been threads about this on already. don't move an upgraded building and don't move towers. unless u want to rebuild them

When you move a watchtower or village green you get half the production back including that for upgrades then get charged for the production for a small one when you place it and have to upgrade it again.

Other buildings when moved give you the full production cost of a small building and half the production cost of any upgrades. When you reposition the building you get charged for a small building and have to upgrade it again.

There are several threads about this so you are not the only one confused.
