Description
As alternative to deleting building there should be the ability to tear down buildings with your workers and get some of the resources back. The amount of the resources should be lower than the building cost. Also the gather rate should be lower than the normal gather rate.
Additional: There could be a tech to rise the efficiency.

You could try to do that in a mod IMO (it's perfectly feasible), but I think it would be too micro for the game.

would make endgame on low resource maps much more interesting though... and a limitation to really big buildings (CC, fortress, wonder, walls, theatre, lighthouse etc.) wouldn't add to much micro IMO

Move tickets to Simulation
as UI & Simulation
got some sub components.
I like this idea, but shouldn't the gather rate be higher than normal? There are many examples in history where the material of old buildings was used for new structures (e.g. the Colosseum and the top layer of the pyramids made of limestone). Obviously it had been easier to take the existing building material than produce new one. However it seems this especially affected buildings of monumental size, small buildings decompose much faster on their own (but you won't believe that a decent part the surface of the Bent Pyramide still intact like 4600 years ago). So I'm not sure if we want to add this mechanic for all buildings.
