Playing as Greece, allowed to contruct districts in captured cities exceeding limit (Not a Bug)

[AppleDumplingHead]

Playing as Greece, captured 2 French cities. Toulouse is size 5, already has holy site and culture district, is allowing me to build industrial district. Paris is size 7, already has encampment, holy site, culture district, is allowing me to build industrial district.

I want to mention, earlier in the game when France surrendered, she handed me a great work of writing and a relic in the surrender deal. I had space for these if the relic were to go in a temple slot and the book went in the palace. However, the game put the relic in the palace slot, and without now an appropriate slot for the book, it disappeared. Not sure if there's evidence of that somewhere in the code in the saved game file.

Greece's culture district is unique and thereby does not count in the normal city size restrictions. Perhaps when you conquer a city from another civilization, although that might not convert their culture districts into Acropoleis (at least I assume so, it hasn't occurred to me), the free culture district city size-wise feature might be intended to be like that. This is just a plausible explanation, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was the developers' intention.

I don't understand this to be true. If it were the case, my Athens, in that same saved game with holy, culture, building campus, would not tell me in tooltip i need to wait for size 10 for encampment, commercial, entertainment. Nothing I can find says acropolis doesn't count toward district total.

Unique districts never count towards the district limit.

Then Athens in that saved game is bugged.

Unique districts never count towards the district limit.

Incidentally, if this were true, every german city would have +2 districts, because every city probably has an industrial district.

It is exactly what happens. You can build in population 1 german city 3 districts, one of which is Hansa.

You guys are correct. Specialty building does not count toward district maximum. I spent some time hashing this out in some saved games this morning. Now I know.

Also, I'd spaced/overlooked Athens has holy, culture, and industrial while building campus at size 9. That was human error.

Therefore, my mistake, not a bug.
