Building of national wonder stopped when razing enemy city

[baronck]

Team,

When building a national item (National Epic) where a requirement is a building needed in every city (monument, university) is HALTED when you raze a newly acquired city.

This is due to the annoying popup build que for a razed city.

also cant take screen shots on windows 7

It'sd more due to the fact that to raze a city you have to annex it.

Someone should send the coders a book "programing for beginners", i guess they'll tell you in chapter 2 about if clauses...>.< incredible what things have been overlooked.

-> not a bug, it's a design flaw.

Didn't have a problem on my install of Windows 7 (64 bit)

I don't think there's any message to tell you that the building has been cancelled. The UI just asks for you a new building project.

Each turn you're not building an item your work seems to erode as well. If it's a fair few turns before you notice it isn't built then you're starting from scratch again. You can't even keep the wonder in your build queue as you don't meet the requirements.

As soon as the city has burned to the ground you can resume the project, there doesn't seem to be any noticeable degrading in my games. The surplus turns I use building something else, also seems to carry over to after the national wonder has finished.

You started to lose hammers invested in a building/unit after 10 turns normal speed in Civ 4, so I expect the same happens here. After 10 or so turns the hammers will start to degrade.

No, there is no popup or any sort of explanation as to why your city is no longer building a national wonder, and no indication that it didn't complete. This is yet another example of (the game was rushed out the door (probably against Firaxis's intentions) OR poor design decision, hiding critical info from the player). Either way I hope they start allowing us to see basic important information so that we can strategize intelligently in our strategy game.
