My Amphitheater (Iron age) lasted me til I got to LMA. Some Diamond buildings last longer than others. As far as the longhouse goes, all regular buildings, including the Diamond ones, will become obsolete as you age up. If you sell a regular building, you get back 30%. If someone only contributed 1 forge point, then that player would get nothing back. If that was an odd number, then the refund would be rounded down. Any refunds of forge points could be the 50% per contributor. I am still fairly new, so I don’t know how far back the contributors list are for each great building. I think that part of the problem about getting forge points back would be who would get them? The owner of the great building – who might not have put in all the forge points, or were they guild members, Friends or Neighbors. Diamonds and Forge Points are hard enough to get to begin with, especially in the earlier stages before you get some of the better great buildings, why can’t we get some of those back? You use it to provide more population, but later there are better options. The longhouse is then just a waste of space, but you get nothing back when you get rid of it. But why not 50% of the initial goods and forge points for level 1? The longhouse cost you 100 diamonds, but by the latter part of the Iron Age, you have two residences together that provide more than the one long house does. I can see that if a great building is several levels, that it could be a massive amount of forge points returned. I would like to know why you get nothing back if you “Sell” a great building or one where you have to pay with diamonds? When you sell a residence, production or goods building, even a road you get back, what, 50% of the cost.
