How does capturing cities handle unique buildings?
For example: If China conquers a city with a library, does the library transform into a paper maker?
or like wise if I conquer a Chinese city as another civilization does the paper maker turn back into a library?
The possibilities I can think of are:
- The unique/non-unique building remains (In which case you can sell it and rebuild it as your civ's version)
- The building will transform back and forward depending on the owner
- Buildings will be deleted on transfer of owner.

The Paper Maker and the Wat are transformed into a Library and a University. The other unique buildings I tried were destroyed.
I'm pretty certain that some classes of buildings are always destroyed, but there is probably also a random factor.
The XML files have some information about it, the probability of capture for the unique buildings is the following
For the other unique buildings there is no value given, I assume that they are always destroyed.
