Free buildings lost when capturing cities

[noncognosco]

I am not sure whether to count this as a bug as it might have been intended. In the last few games since the last patch I have noticed that when you capture a city with a wonder in it, the free building associated with the wonder disappears. For instance, if you capture a city with the Great Library in it, the free library that you get for building the Great Library disappears and you have to build a new library for that city.

Has anyone else noticed this and does anyone know if it is an intentional part of the way the Wonder is supposed to work?

I don't think its intentional, yet not a bug.

I'm not sure of the game mechanics on which buildings stay when a city is captured, but cities normally lose their infrastructure when captured.

However, if you capture cities later in the game they do retain early buildings such as mills, libraries, granarys. What era were you in?

Don't remember the era. The normal mechanic is that all military buildings are destroyed and some percentage of all other buildings. But since the library is part of the Great Library's effect it seems like it should stay with the Wonder. If you sell the library you automatically get it back the next turn (which is a bug but still...)

That in of itself is a bug, as none of the other Free Building granting wonders give their building back I believe, thus I don't believe the buildings are suppose to be attached.

Bug or not, I think it's counter-intuitive, and it seems like those wonders and their associated building should be an exception.
