I recently lost an air shard to the dreaded fire shrill population. I guess they really wanted that non food resource. However unlike when other improvements get destroyed it was just gone. Where? Do the shrills eat these things? Don't you think they prefer FIRE shards? Am I missing the roleplay connection here.
Bug or Feature?
Others have reported this as well. It's on the list for the devs to check on.
I also saw one of my cities captured by another faction that had food resources close to it that got interwoven in the city as it expanded, evaporate WITH the food sources when I accidentally killed the enemy sovereign and his empire vanished. I had been counting on recouping that farm and beehive!
Same here. Earth shard disappeared after conquering a the city that owned it...the shard being the only reason I wanted that city in the first place. 
shards have been destroyed permanently since before 1.08. I'm guessing from kyro's response that this is not WAI
