Proposal
Create a Find dialog enabling us to locate specific building(s).

Have you Checked the Ideas section for the same idea posted by someone else?
No similar threads found.

Reason
To enable players to locate specific building(s) in their city, e.g. those which may be hidden between larger buildings.

Details
Present a (drop-down) list of all buildings currently built and if the player selects one then highlight all those.

Balance/Abuse Prevention
None foreseen.

just move the building you think it is hidden behind.
If you are trying to find a building you may not know where it is!!! For example if you are updating all your roads some old ones may be hidden where you have forgotten them! Moving all buildings which may have a road behind isn't very user-friendly :)

would be great ,Find dialog could show building while it could hide rest of buildings in background so you see only the ones your looking for

Then you use Reconstruction Mode.

There are better things the devs can do.

Maybe your objections are about how to allocate development time rather than what is a good idea! You can always use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, much as you can use Reconstuction Mode to find a piece of road! :)

How on earth can this be a good idea?

If you highlight a piece of road, hidden by a building you still would not be able to see it.

If that is your opinion you are entitled to it. I fundamentally disagree and I am entitled to my own opinion.

Ofcourse you are, but since this is presented as an idea I can be against it and argue why.

This might be helpfull to you, but it does not make the game any better. Game is about 8 years old. Players have been able to cope without it for all that time. It is not really a game changer. There is more than one way to solve it. Reconstruction mode is one. Another is to pick the latest road and try to place it. You can not replace the latest with the latest. You can replace old parts with it. Problem solved.

Roads are there to connect buildings to your town hall. In later ages, it becomes totally unimportant what type of roads you use. Using roads for happiness will be outdated, so what it comes down to is that this will be usefull in small cities. In small cities, you really do not need it.

being able to colect while in reconstruction mode would help colect the 1 by 1 buildings hiden behind buildings , add to that posibility to sell and add buildings while in reconstruction and reconstruction mode would be perfect to fix a few issues and make game a bit more user-friendly

That has absolutely nothing to do with this idea.

Your comment does not saulve anything. I tell him how he can do it in the curent construction. You are comming up with new ideas that are not part of this idea. New ideas need to be put in a new proposal.

I'm pretty sure I have a Tholos of Idols somewhere in my city, but I couldn't find it to confirm - this isn't the first building I've had that experience with, either!
I've resorted to asking my guildmates to search for me...
