Algae population does not update properly

I exploded a raychi to make the algae on the left which filled up the population bar of the city before I captured it. After capturing, the bar stays full until the next turn or until another population is added

I say it should've spawned a Giant and pushed you off. 🤣

Did you do both in very quick succession? What Pyrian said is what should have happened, I think, so I'm wondering if you overloaded the command interface.

No

I can repro this

I was joking. City upgrades can't happen without the relevant player making a choice. Now, if the opponent had actually had their turn, the city would've upgraded at the start of their turn (I know because this has happened to me due to mass Raychi explosions and combat, lol, lost a bunch of Rammers but hey free Giant lol). What's weird here is that they took the city, and I guess there's no check at that point in time, only at friendly upgrade and start of turn.
