Capturing cities size 1

[Sven]

The manual says that, unlike Civ2, cities size 1 won't be destroyed when captured. I just captured a size-one-city in my game, and it was destroyed. Why is this?

I believe the patch addressed this...in that cities who have not expanded beyond size 1 will be destroyed, but I have been given the option to keep cities that have at one point been bigger than size one but are smaller through the enemy building workers or settlers...haven't experimented with bombarding a city down to size one yet though.
