Autorazing?

[cgannon64]

What's the deal with autorazing? It always seems to happen when I want to keep a city? What are the circumstances for it? Thanks ahead of time, its really bugging me.

Size one and having never had its borders expanded by culture.

Autorazing wasn't in the game before v1.21 tho.

Yes it was, it's been around since 1.16 or 1.17, I believe the earlier though.

If the city is size 1 with no city improvement it will be autorazed by your troops.

or if you a nut like me.. accidently clicking the "we don't want it, raze it" button

if it has no culture points at all and is size 1 it gets razed, but unless the culture comes from a palace, it stays once it has a single point (well 2 actually, that's the smallest you can get). if the culture is from a palace, it needs 10 points (i.e. 1 expansion) for the city to survive. so if the enemy captial jumps, wait ten turns befroe taking it

hum.. letting a enemy capitol survive for 10 turns... why ???
it is way more fun to keep making there capitol jump imo

well that, too, just make it jump no earlier than ten turns, so you can keep it!!!! The way I do it, i beeline for the capital 8that i can keep), then go for the new one (after ten turns), then on and on, as long as my armies are good. That way, I can keep lotsa cities despite them being size 1 only. Saves a lot of settler production!

Naa.. its waayyy more fun to open up huge gaps so that the other AI's will send in settlers for you to capture and get more slave labor .. oh wait ( beats the evil back inside ) scratch that... yeah i guess your right Killer

lol D9phoenix!! those fat settlers look sooo tasty. must...resist....

don't think about the autoraze thing. If you get it, you get it. If not, guard the site til you get a settler there.
