As the title says. I don't get a courthouse when I conquer and puppet a city.
OK, but courthouse only "Eliminates extra unhappiness from an occupied city," so it would have no effect on a puppet.
Since the tenet does say "upon capture," do you still get your free courthouse if you puppet and later annex, or must you annex from the get-go? So the real test of whether Iron Curtain is working is to do two tests: (1) annex immediately on capture and (2) reload and puppet on capture and later annex. When does the free courthouse appear in both tests?
Just tested it. You do get a free courthouse when you first conquer the city. When you get the initial Annex/Puppet/Raze/View City screen, and select View City, you will see your free courthouse -- plain as day. If you select Annex (or Raze), your free courthouse remains. But if you select puppet, your free courthouse goes "poof" and disappears.
May or may not be a bug, but it seems a logical consequence of how courthouses ordinarily work. Pre-existing courthouses are destroyed when a city is conquered and you can't puppet a city once you've annexed the city, so the code for courthouses may expressly confine courthouses to annexed cities, with the result that any courthouse in a city that is being puppeted must be destroyed.
A courthouse in a puppet city would be a liability, because it costs maintenance and does nothing to help you.
