I may have known the answer to this at one time but, if so, I've forgotten it...

Scenario 275 has buildings entitled "A.Building". Also the "W.Building" looks different (and much better for a Middle Eastern map).

How do I access these? Hotkeys H and B give me the standard wooden and stone buildings. And I can't find a hotkey for "A.Building."

Welcome Back CB....... it's been a while

When you use a desert map the "A(dobe)" buildings are placed when you use the "concreate/ stone" building button so there is no special button for it just the map type AND at least one of the opponents needs to be a " desert " country.( generally ) sometimes it needs to be both......... experiment ) If you pick Norway vers Sweden and generate a Desert map you will not get the flat roofed buildings.

So........ place the buildings using "desert" nations on a Desert map and you will get the flat-roofed single hex buildings

Thanks, that worked. I was playing some of the AIW scenarios and was bugged by the fact that they still have the non-Adobe buildings. I've updated one and may try to do others as I have time.
