How do I repair walls?

[LethalLeigh]

The game I am playing right now, I have a couple of cities that I received in a peace deal. Cities that I attacked and reduced the walls to Zero Health.
The issue I have now is that, Now I own the cities I have no Walls and no option to repair them I am past the Civil Engineering stage and when another war started 30 turn later these 2 cities could not bombard becuase they had no walls and because there is no way to repair them I have to keep a units close by because the cities can not defend themselves.

I understand that getting full walls when you Cap a city doesn't make sense but you think there would be a way to repair or build new ones after the War has ended.

And yes these cities have Encampment Districts that are fully heeled which does supply a little support apart from being located in bad spots.

Is this a bug or intended that once a city loses it walls it can NEVER have any again for the entire game.

Once past Civil Engineering you cannot repair the walls, which is stupid.

You CAN fix them in FireTuner. (I'll cover that tonight in the video)

btw, if you have a save game with those cities and want to upload it, I'll take a look.

Before civil engineering you are supposed to be able to repair them.
Afterwards, no, but when you cap it, you are supposed to get full walls in the city, but if the encampment was damaged, it is not repaired. (if the walls there we dropped to zero, they are. huh?)

I believe it's a bug, that has been reported many times, though I've not yet had confirmation of that from the devs.

It's made stranger by having grayed out options for later tech walls if your earlier tech walls have been partly destroyed; mouse-over in the build menu and you'll get a strange and frustrating message! Either it's by design (though an odd decision) and the build menu options are wrong, or it's a bug.

You'll notice the AI struggles with this too, so at least it's the same for all players.
