Complete Building while building culture

[ruff_hi]

I recently whipped a granary to completion and then decided to change the build to culture to get my border pop in this city 2 turns earlier. My expectation was that I would build culture for 1 turn and then let the already whipped granary complete.

Hit 'end turn' and ...

border pop & granary complete - nice.

So I was able to effectively build two things at once.

This was in a patched (no mod) BtS pbem game.

no big deal... if you whip you complete the building, so it's natural you finish it, no lost, no gain.

Yeah the only time whipping doesn't cause the building to be completed is if you obsolete the building at the end of the turn (had this in a game where I whipped a monument the turn I was about to discover astronomy... don't do that kids).

You can whip 2 or 3 items in a city but only 1 thing will complete per turn.

Eg: Population of city = 12
Put granary in queue, whip
Put barracks in queue, whip
Put library in queue, whip
hit 'end of turn'

3 whips worth of anger, 3 complete buildings stacked in the city build queue but only 1 will roll out of the queue per turn.
