Buildings do have underlying terrain. Ruined towers are usually on plains, while deserted monasteries are on mountains. I've tested those two buildings and they do give different combat bonuses/penalties. So your terrain gear can be used on buildings. 

Innoble posted a combat calculator a while back.  That calculator has terrain bonuses for [Buildings] that differ from [Plains], [Large Mountains], etc...  I didn't test every aspect of the calculator but the times I did it's been pretty much spot on.  I'm pretty sure I've never attacked anything on a [Buildings] terrain because I usually attack with cav and the bonuses shown in that calculator for [Buildings] are really bad for cav.  I don't know specifically what Innoble meant by "buildings" but I assumed that anytime the terrain type in brackets ([]) said [Buildings] that was a building terrain type.  Are you saying that you believe the combat terrain bonuses are the same for things marked [Buildings] as for the underlying terrain (whatever type that may be) and you calculated that different [Buildings] have different bonuses?

I just want to make sure I'm clearly hearing what you are saying your testing has shown because for a while now I've had a different understanding.

Thanks
