Authored by Alec Blackwood | The King is Watching
In The King Is Watching, removing structures requires three simple steps:
- Activate deletion mode by clicking the [-] icon on the left side of the King’s interface
- Select any building to destroy permanently
- Cancel by right-clicking outside your visible kingdom area
Important: There are no keyboard shortcuts for deletion. Use this feature cautiously, as removed buildings cannot be recovered during your current playthrough.
Tip: For repositioning structures instead of destroying them, explore our building relocation guide.
