What's wacky with culture???

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

I was finishing off Persia. They had two shrimpo cities on islands
that had sat for a while because I didn't have any way to get there.
(I hadn't needed sea capability before then.) I bomb all the units
out of his capital (Conquests, current patch--lethal bombardment) and
take it with paratroopers.

It has 28 culture *AFTER* I take it. I've never owned the city
before. All I can think of is that somehow I got credited with the
culture his palace made.

Normal game, the only tweaks I've done to it are the wonders which
grant continental bonuses I changed to granting the same bonus
worldwide.
