It would not surprise me either way. However I think it reasonable that it should, at least for FreeCol-rules.

That is a game-bug. Kings Regular units should not be capturable. I expect the routine that transfers ownership of a captured colony does not check this constraint. Fix coming shortly. > The other thing about that is why was it arming free colonists rather > than the King's Regulars that it had? The "arm available units" code in the European AI is careful to choose the best unit to arm. So it definitely arms veteran soldiers ahead of colonists, and colonists ahead of experts, etc. However it does not even consider the Kings Regulars because it can not have such units. The bug is that the REF AI is directly derived from the European AI but does not yet contain code that accounts for the wider unit choice available to it. Cheers, Mike Pope
