ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
After capturing a city-state socket on Italian Wars map and building a TP, I started unit training and research in Papal Embassy and Great Bank. In the meantime, I lost the sockets. The overall population counted the untrained unit as trained, so even though I had no army, I had no space to train more units. I also lost all my resources spent for these units. I tried to replicate the bug in the editor with the same result:
Another issue is the techs. In the editor the techs just disappeared, in Skirmish, they appeared again in the queue after I retook the socket. But after taking another socket with the same building, the techs were gone and not accessible anymore.
I also tried an alternative modded building (convertible Dock) working similarly to the Papal Embassy. The issue has an impact not only on PopCap but also unit (ship) build limit.

REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Start the Italian Wars map
- Build some houses and a few military units to be able to take the city-state socket
- Kill the guards, take city state socket and build a TP
- Train some units in the Papal Embassy / Great Bank (optionally also research some techs)
- Delete the TP
- Your PopCap stays at the same value as if the units were trained
- Rebuild the TP
- Check the Papal Embassy / Great Bank, no units are being trained, and they take the population. Techs come back to the queue (not sure what happens with them if the next time you
- Before the tech research is finished, delete TP again and take another city-state with the very same building. After taking Great Bank after losing another, the techs are not accessible anymore in the new Great Bank which has been taken as the second
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
After losing the socket, the behavior should be like if the building was destroyed, so unit training and research stop immediately, you get back all the resources and the pop cap returns back to the previous value.
