I've been playing Civ1 probably since it was released (I don't remember when I started but I was much, much younger) and by far, my favorite game. Anyway, glad to find this forum and see there are still people out there passionate about the game!
I'm not sure if what I am experiencing is a bug or just normal game play but I'll explain what's happening... I'll take an enemy's city - and it will have a size of lets say 5. I usually "starve" the city and pillage the improvements/resources. In a couple of turns the city will be reduced down to a size of 1. I'll wait for a Barbarian or enemy to take the city and destroy it. I want this to happen because I don't want the city.
But this is the odd part. I'll have a Naval unit that's home city is "City A". I'll take enemy city "City B". I'll let the City B drop down to size 1 and wait for it to be captured by an enemy and destroyed. As soon as that happens, I lose a Naval unit. The Naval unit is still home to City A, is nowhere near City B. This also only seems to happen at random times. So I have to make sure I unload all my ships before I know a city is going to be conquered because if I don't, I can lose a lot of units at once.
Any idea why this is happening?
