I see, I dislike that. I want to see all my units, I don't care how I got it.

I agree. They could AT LEAST improve the captured units display so you see (a lot) more than 3 at a time! OTOH, perhaps there are other differences we are not aware of yet.

Savegame #2

Savegame #2, 10 BC (Just bomb London and you should destroy the Great Wall)

Ok, so I rush online to report the weirdest thing I've seen yet, and what happens? RobC beat me too it.

Fire Two!!

And the clincher, ladies and gents, is that Thebes is home to the Great Wall. I was fortunate enough to capture it, instead of destroy it.

Oh, and one more bug(?) is that as you can see, Thebes does not show walls. All other Egyptian cities do, but not Thebes. When I captured it, however, they showed up.

All this, for Dyes.

Makes sense. The capital always shows as if it's one size larger, and there's no graphics for a walled city (as opposed to a town).

I think the bug comes because walls are supposed to get targetted before other city improvements, but with the Great Wall now providing free walls, somehow another improvement gets destroyed instead.

It is probably worth a mention in the civilopedia entry for marshes that you cannot found cities on a marshland tile

Ok, I did some more testing and have figured out the problem (sort of). If the civilization that you are at war with has not discovered steam power, railroads will not connect to their taken cities. If they have discovered it, no problems... Can someone test this with one of their current games and report back, plz. I would much appreciate some verification.

That one had me scratching my head for a few minutes. I was wondering why the build city did not work, unil I noticed it was on a marsh.

I can only say that they behave normally with your own cities and captured ones that do have steam.

...at least you got it intact! The reason I declared war on England in the first place is that they beat me to the Great Wall and I wanted to capture it...but once I started bombing it, it was palace destroyed, temple destroyed, colosseum destroyed, then "The The Great Wall of London has been destroyed"
