Was going to demolish some building in a captured city, due to wanting to cut back on spending(unlike the typical goverment). First time I've tried to demolish any buildings. There was no popup to show me what buildings I was hovering over, so didn't know what I was trying to demolish. I don't have the city zoom turned on, not sure if that matters.

I think it would be helpful if you could hover over the buildings at any time and have a pop up in the UI telling you what they are. But it is definitely needed while demolishing!

I turned on the City Zoom feature, and it still doesn't show/popup what the building are when you go to demolish. Didn't bother demolishing since I don't want to accidentaly destroy the wrong building!!

We should be able to demolish from the city list anyway, it would be much faster to demolish buildings with maintenance.

Agree on that, would be much easier to demolish from the city list.

If you actually try to demolish a building, it will prompt you, asking "Do you really want to demolish <building type>?" You can then accept or decline. As far as I know this is the only way to tell what an individual building is.

I definitely agree with this. As a city builder, I'd like to know (not that it matters except in my own mind) that I don't want to place the gallows right next to the merchant or inn, might depress commerce. Also, when I conquer a city I'd like to have an easy way of discovering what buildings are already in that city without having to go to the city details view.
