A Pop 1 city with no culture will be automatically razed. Therefore a city either needs a Pop of 2 or has some culture (I think it has to have reached the first expansion level) to not be razed.

Because, every time a nation conquers a tiny little city like that, the detrimental effects on the town that go into a successful siege would be enough to make such a tiny town unlivable for its tiny population. The mere action of a hostile army riding through a town like that could very well destroy it.

Beanzy- I don't agree with you.
I think that is wrong that the sityes are automaticaly raized!!!
Don't forget that 1 is like 10000 people and in the encient world( 400bc lets say it was pretty big sity.

10,000? I assumed it was closer to something like 8,000, about the size of my town. And I'm sure if a group of tanks rolled through here, shelling troops barricaded in the hills of the city, our little town would get pretty beat up. Maybe not destroyed, but at least it adds another aspect to the game.

Does anyone know if autoraze is editable? (Someday I'm going to have to dive into that beast of a program myself...)

Correct! A size one city with a cultural building will also get razed automatically when it hasn't reached the first expanasion level yet.
