Then why does it take minutes to carry out the redrawing of the dots
while the status display in the right panel is updated instantly to
the final result?
There are two possibilities:
1. The status display is wrong and it really is taking minutes to
carry out the changes. If so, there are two bugs. First, a change
in the status of a building/flag that takes the user 2 seconds to
do should not take minutes to be carried out. Second, the display
in the status panel is wrong.
2. The status display is correct and the changes are carried out
almost instantly, but the dots above the building take minutes to
be updated. If so, this is a bug, because it means the dots above
the building can be inaccurate for minutes.

I'm so happy to hear that you think it isn't bad! Therefore, I will
continue. :-) ☺

You mean like the 9 crashing bugs I've reported with the release
candidate?
No, we don't need crashing bugs. It would be much better if those
bugs didn't exist and we could focus on polishing.

I completely disagree about whether the above-described behavior is
acceptable. It is definitely a bug.
