I'm pretty sure that regular buildings have a 66% of surviving. But if it's not that, then they have a 66% chance of getting destroyed. Pretty sure it's the former though.

I've wondered about this too. If it is the 2/3 probability, then how does it act onprogressive buildings? E.g you can't have a university without a library (/UB library), so does it do one then the other? in that case it'd be (1/3)^2=1/9 chance of keeping th uni. Shurely this not right?

Not all buildings have the 66% chance. You have to check the XML to see the survive chance of each building as its set individually. A lot more than you'd think have a 100% to never be captured.

The prereq buildings are only required to BUILD the building, not to have it. You can sell the library in a city that has a university and still keep the university. (There are also some wonders that will give you a free building without having the prereq one).

Yeah, this. Himeji Castle, for one.

100% for world wonders, (I think) 66% for most normal buildings, 0% for cultural buildings and national wonders.
