Ancient Ruins disappearing

[Brunotaurus]

Greetings!
This bug occured several times on my v122 games with VEM and CivUP running:
Upon approaching ancient ruins, they suddenly disappear and i am fairly certain that the AI was nowhere near that ruin and therefore unable to take it. They simply despawn.

I have seen the same thing happen, with v120 as well. However, I can't conclusively say that an AI scout didn't take it and disappear out of sight during his turn.

it just happened again to me. I was right next to the ancient ruin with an american warrior. There is nothing within my increased line of sight that could have taken it.

I think there's been enough recent sightings to assume it's a new bug, but Dunkah posted on another thread that it's a vanilla bug failing to erase a ruin that had already been visited by the AI.

It has just happen to me. This is just the second turn of the game and an AI definitely hasn't visited this tile yet.

Have a look at the attached Civ5Save. Notice a Ruins near the warrior. Press "Next turn" and see that the Ruins mysteriously disappeared from the tile.

I revealed the map with the Ingame Editor and didn't see any other units in the vicinity. Moreover, I found several other Ruins (on other tiles) disappeared at the same turn.

This is automatic acquisition of ruins in the early game near AI capitals. I added it in July to solve some problems with extreme randomness in early AI city settling. I could move it up to turn 0. I'd thought turn 2 was soon enough it wouldn't ever be seen... though if you start very close to an AI capital it would be. Were these games more crowded than an average 8-player standard-map start?

Thank you for the explanation. I expected that this is one of the hidden features of this mod.

The game settings was: continents, large. All others are default. There was actually another civ about 8-9 tiles away. The tile with the ruins was about 5-6 tiles away from both my and the neighbor civ capitals.
