has anyone noticed that sometimes when you capture a city, it doesn't take on the look of your particular faction? sometimes it does.. does anyone know what's up?

Eventaully they all start looking like cities in your faction. I think its just because you haven't controlled it very long and its still a "Disputed territory". After so many turns they all take up your faction's look.
I've noticed that when a city that looks like another factions' is re-captured by them it says "soandso has *liberated* someplace". After that city takes up your look it just says "Soandso has captured someplace".
I think its got something to do with the liberation/capture counter.

Yes, the captured cities take a while to be assimilated into your empire. There is a formula for it somewhere.
Other features take a while to kick in too. I noticed when I took over some Peacekeeper cities without hab complexes that I was allowed to stay at pop 9 for a while, then pop 8 max and finally down to 7.
The population 8 intermediate state surprised me. Even though there is lots of bugs, some of the programming is very interesting in this game.
