Playing a huge OCC map at marathon speed, I thought I had won the game on turn 501. It turned out that Austria's Capital City (Vienna) had reinstated itself in the same position as before. It was a huge City when I razed it, the rebirth was only a size 2 and had size 2 borders to match.

I am not quite sure how to send a save but it is HOF entry number 8897 which could be useful to you once processed and accepted. I am sure that all the information you need will be there on the every turn autosave requested by the HOF staff.

It's not bug. Razed capital can be replanted
 
Yes, but it's only name, they don't count against domination victory.

Iron fighter, maybe you can help out here!

I know that you occasionally play on the HOF site. So if you wouldn't mind then check out my entry. Deity, Huge, Large Islands, Shoshone, domination, Marathon. I don't know how to do the attachments, but maybe you can. The entry number is 8897, we have to submit the initial start, 1/3, 2/3 and finish you would only have to take a look at turn 508 (ending) to see that the City did re-pop and that I did have to go and re-conquer for a second time to obtain the domination victory.

EDIT - Turn 458 Vienna raised, turn 508 I had to raise it again to get the domination victory, info found in game log on HOF.
 
I won't bother with all the details this time, I just entered another game into the HOF, this time Assur re-popped itself after being raised whilst I was playing OCC.

I don't know if any of these bugs are likely to be fixed or not, but the best way to actually see what happened in this case would be with the aid of the HOF game entry log as mentioned in the above post.

EDIT - This game has been accepted on the HOF but won't be published until 17th March. Entry number 8968, Assur captured turn 407 and had to be re-captured turn 453. Interesting to note that at the time of the second capture Ashburnipal had two Capital cities with a star next to the name!
 
Another one - Turn 424 Gao captured and immediately razed as per OCC game. Turn 432 I captured the last Capital which belonged to the Celts. Alas no victory because Gao had popped up again on the other side of the world (huge map). I travel across the World and capture Gao again only to find that I still havn't won. I check all the Nations to find out who still supposedly has a Capital and it turns out to be Hiawatha. I can't find their normal capital Onodonga, but I notice that a City called Salamenca has been built where Onodonga once was. So I make another treck across the World capture Salamenca, then finally the domination victory screen comes up.

This is a right royal ---- up!!
