City disappear

[ashley26ph2003]

Why when I played scenario ,I ve got a city with cannon /artillery/armor , It has no city walls and it is destroyed or disappear

When a city has no city walls and a unit inside is killed the city loses a citizen. If this happens when the city is at size 1 it disappears.
You also lose a citizen when the city is captured unless it has city walls.

the problem arises when you home your units to the city which is razed. If the units within the city belong to another city, they will remain in the same spot even if the city is destroyed.

Moral of the story, never home your units to small cities near the frontier even if it reduces the support pressure on your larger home cities.
