I Cannot Conquer Cities, Only Pillage and Leave Ruins?!?

[siouxfallsciv]

Am I missing something here? I assume you can still conquer cities? Last night I finally had enough with that tiny little Spanish colony on the shores of my continent and decided to take it over and make it mine. After rolling my tank over to the border and declaring war I was shocked to see that I couldn't conquer the fallen city only pillage it, is this normal??

If a city is tio small then it will be automatically destroyed without the option of capture.And yo realize those spanish are just going to jack your tanks treads and steel your hatch rite?

I think if the size is 1 then you automaticly pillage it. otherwise it gives you the option of pillage or installing a new governor

I don't think its simply that if the population equals 1, then its automatically destroyed. I'm pretty sure that I've been able to conquor cities that size. I think it has something to do with the difference between the attacking unit and its last line of defense. A tank has a strength rating of 28. What type of defender were you going up against? You said it was a colony on a distant continent, so I'm assuming that he wasn't using his best and brightest to defend it.

If the city has no culture, it has to be razed as well.
