Oh, ok.

How do you know that you can capture a size 1 city? Sometimes it razes it, sometimes it doesnt. Normally it razes, but when taking your old city back, it captures it even if its size 1. Whats teh real factor here?
 
You can't raze a city you previously owned.

Cities are auto razed if you have never owned them and they have never been above size 1.

I think there is another rule to do with culture produced but I am not sure of that one.
 
The factor is how many time went by since the city was established, though I don't know after how many turns exactly it won't get razed. Razing a city which used to belong to you isn't possible at all.
 
Appart from the various game options (OCC, no city razing, max city elimination(?)) which trigger/prevent the auto-razing of a size 1 city, there is only the 1 rule implemented that ParadigmShifter mentioned -- if a city has never had a population of 2 at any time in the game it will get auto-razed!
It is irrelevant how old the city is and how much culture it has produced. It is even possible for you to auto-raze a city which used to belong to you (but of course the only way this city could have changed hands before is via gifting/negotiating) ;).

Yes, you're right, I was posting rubbish in my last post. Just forgot the applied rules, 'cause I didn't play Civ for a long time now. Thanks for clearing that up.;)
But even for me it's new to learn that even a city which belonged to you get's also auto-razed.
 
I didn't know that either.

It's just the option to raze a city never appears if you capture a city you previously owned, I didn't consider that it could be auto razed because of never being above size 1 (which is very unlikely to happen since the city would have to have changed hands peacefully at size 1).
