Free city bug

[rah]

Last night this happened to me for about the fifth time and I'm still not sure about the machanics of it or how it's triggered.

Situation. Civ you're fighting has three cities left.
You take one of the cities and one of the last two cities becomes yours without you doing anything. It appears that you've taken it and it shows x number of turns of resistance, but it still has a stack of enemy troops in it. If you try to move a unit into the city it will attack one of the enemy defenders. Workers in the city show as being yours. The next turn all the enemy units will vacate the city leaving it for you to move in unmolested.

Have others experienced this?

I have - but only rarely.

Does anyone know if this is a known bug?

And Nugog, for the record, at five times, considering the number of games I've played, I would say it's rare also.
I've never seen it happen in an MP game, which I'm sure would really irritate someome if it did.

I had a similar experience myself. But then it was my troops in an enemy city. I think it was the Apolostic (Apocalyptic? or something) Palace that voted to give back a city I had integrated in my empire. I voted no of course, but didn't have enough votes. The city returned to the previous owner but with my troops still in it. I just had to move out and in to it again to re-take it.

I thought this came up before and is a known bug that was corrected with the unofficial patch.

I've had it happen as well, but since I'm a MP player, I do not use the current unofficial patch.

[rah]

Yep, no unofficial patch for me either.

I do find it funny that the enemy troops vacate the city and just don't retake it. Of course they were probably scared of the supper worker that was defending the city.
