Unless there was a code change I don't remember, standard attacks are supposed to capture buildings. They don't seem to be at the moment.

I believe that was removed a long time ago, but I can't recall why. Possibly it was leading to land discrepencies?

Is there a thread somewhere, you are sure it's not a bug? Why would it lead to land discrepancies?

Edit: Here's a thread from 7 years ago where I brought this up and Shael confirmed it is a bug.

I just looked through military.php and there's no sign of the Standard building capture function.  Bizarre.  Usually things are just commented out. 
There's nothing there to support destroying enemy buildings and applying them to the attacker, so I'm pretty sure it's not a bug...  just no longer a feature. 

Couldn't tell you why, I'll search around in a bit

edit -- I guess Shael took it out by accident?  'cause the function to do it isn't there

That is really weird, I don't remember taking it out specifically but it was a long time ago. I'm sure the code was there at some point though. It is a possibility I removed it in an attempt to mitigate the land discrepancy issue.

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.
