Yeah, I think that that may be the whole problem, then.  I had thought the connected lines between buildings (and the resources) were all that was required.  

I am wondering whether I simply misunderstand the rules.
I started a new game, and double clicked on Village Hall, and it built immediately.

Next turn I click on Marketplace, and it says "Can be built" so I try to build it.  I try both clicking and double clicking, nothing happens.

But when I double click Upg Barracks, that builds instantly.

Could it be that "Can be built" is not accurate, that you have to build all of the top row of buildings first?  I am pretty confused as to what is supposed to happen.

I am on a PC, and the city management screen takes up much of my screen, so I doubt that this is mini.

No matter what building I choose, whether it is already built, obviously not ready to build, or an apparently suitable choice, the building gets outlined in a sort of off white.  

Interesting game for anyone who liked early HOMM.  I like the decision to automate battles -- they became rather repetitive in the originals.  And this game has more depth than first appears.

One main thing troubling me.  When I choose to construct a building, I am seeing no confirmation of purchase.  Sometimes next turn, the building is constructed, sometimes not.  Sometimes when it is not constructed, I can figure out the reason why, sometimes not.  Maybe I am missing something, but it seems to me the interface ought to provide unambiguous feedback showing the a purchase has worked.
