(BUG?) Can't build cities after an AI defeat

from Elemental Forums

I didn't see anything in the forums on this, after looking 4 pages in so I apologize if it's been brought up.

An Ai faction declared war on me and I took one of his cities. Apparently this riled up the enemy Sov because he led an equal combat rated force right to the newly conquered city, now my territory.

After wiping the pavement with his face, his entire empire (7 cities) disappeared. OK that's fine except I can't build a city anywhere one of his cities were. Map Tile still claims it is a city square. So between Mountains, hills, swamps, forests and now invisible cities the southern half of the continent is uninhabitable. Minus that one square Another AI Faction decided to colonize and is stuck in because he can't build buildings to expand the settlement.

Is this normal?

Second question. Is the 5 tile distance for founding a city supposed to also effect improvement building? I understand the distance requirement for founding, but effecting the improvements really degrades to effectiveness of a city.

It sounds like the game has still marked those areas as owned/off-limits for you.  Didn't the latest patch remove NPC factions?  If so, did you by chance update to the latest patch and then attempt to use a previously-saved game?

EDIT: Sorry thought this was about FE.
