Building Progression Icons need slight change

In the latest update I have (I guess it is still a dev version), some of the structures when you start building them look exactly the same (for example, broken ground, some construction showing). If I happen to start a stable, a black smith, an archery range at the same time, and several hours later it becomes my turn again and situation causes me to focus on just one building on the turn, I have to click on the building to know what it is.
It would be helpful, if a small icon or the graphics are changed so that a player can tell what it is without click on it. For instance, the stable could have a horse hanging out in the construction site, archery range has bails of hay with a target on it, black smith has a pit fire in the middle.
I am sure there are other icons that are needed, I just can't recall them off the top of my head.

Yeah I hear ya, I also don't believe a player should be able to see what the other army is building either until its up. I mean its like the enemy sending you a blueprint on what there building " I don't think so"

Player and team mates should be able to see what is being built, but not the enemy until it is built.

There will be images for the construction of these buildings, but Dan said we must wait until we have a better, 3d image.

That's cool, but enemy should be left in the dark of your workers construction!?

Lol check its stats, and everyone can see what it is.

This is correct. patroid started some, but he is away for a bit anyway.

Can not that be changed so enemy can't see or no? I mean if an enemy can't cross your bridge by programming couldn't it be programmed so enemy can't see what is being produced?

it can be programmed, but i am not sure it is a good way to go:
- in reality it is obvious from the early building stages what is built.
- if we will have construction stage-images, it will be visible what it is (like the tower, you know from the first time what it is)

I suppose we can't have it both ways just the thought of not knowing is a bit more challenging without the fog affect
