Hi,
I can't seem to find an answer for this in the FAQs. I am playing Civ4 without any expansions or mods and with the most current patch. I am confused about what happens when I attack an opponent's city. In most cases, it gives me the two options of either installing a new governor or burning it to the ground. In a few cases though, the city just gets razed automatically, without my having an option to install a new governor. This happens in just normal games, no scenarios started. This happens whether the cities are run by barbarians or by a distinct nationality.
What determines whether or not a city just gets wiped off the map or allows you to take it over? Any info appreciated. Thank you!
