help? why don't i capture all the enemy cities.

[chrisz]

when i capture a enemy city it sometimes ends up just getting destroyed and i can't keep it

If the cities are population size 1 when you capture them, they get razed automatically.

If the city is size 1 and has no culture yet, it will be razed automatically.

Do the AI get annoyed at that like they do when you choose to raze citys?

This has changed, I think with PTW 1.21. A city of size 1 and no cultural border expansion (ie at least 10 culture) gets razed automatically.

I used to capital chase (since the Palace generates culture) in jag warrior rushes, but now I have to capture the capital and then wait 10 turns for the borders of the new capital to expand, then capture., etc. I used to be able to capture, wait one turn for one culture, then capture the new capital.

It's really annoying fighting a war against a civ when they're in despotism. They will never let their cities grow. As soon as the city hits pop 2 they just rush another unit. Even Gandhi was mercilessly whipping his citizens in my last game. You end up having to keep razing their cities and if you don't have settlers of your own a future enemy pops a new city there. So you end up having to capture every city twice. I think next time I go to fight a civ in despotism I'm going to gift them monarchy first so they don't do that.
