Can buidings be completely destroyed in a battle?

[Tora]

The Russians seem to like to visit me in Bucharest annually and don't always bring any siege artillery, but when they do they seem fond of targeting a particular building which forms part of a corner of the city wall - you know, squarish top, cant put troops on all parts of the rampart etc - but only ever registers 1% damage at the most.

By some miracle it's always still standing at the end, despite resembling a Swiss cheese with numerous fires raging inside after they've finished with it.

Do they, or any other building for that matter,ever collapse?

Buildings are never destroyed completely. Even if it is damaged to 100%, you can still just repair it in 1 turn

Nope, the buildings won't collapse.

Don't ask me why they removed this feature from Rome :(

If I understand things correctly, individual unnamed buildings, although graphically displaying "hits", area aggregated in terms of "buildings damage".

Also certain parts of the curtain walls are also included in this total (ie those buts that can't be destroyed)

(Only named buildings have their own hits total)

(PS I would prefer the Roman version too. But with damage done to units standing next to burning buildings.)

It wasn't really in Rome, either. It just looked like it, but the buildings could still be repaired.

That's not the point

It just really takes away from teh realism to fire a cannonball at a straw house and do 1% damage...
