problem with automatic razing

[dkun]

Whenever I attack an enemy city and defeat the enemy units there, my combat units automatically raze the city. I remember playing before on the PC and having a choice wheter to raze or occupy the city. What's wrong?

AFAIK, it should happen only when the town is just "size 1" (i.e. with only 1 citizen)

Cities of size 1 and no culture are auto-razed. If the city built e.g. a temple 2 turns ago, its borders did not yet expand, but it has 4 culture points and therefore is not razed.

Thanks Tao.
This should be the complete & correct answer!

In fact, when i conquered Babylon after having taken it down to 1 pop with bombarding (it was 16...), it was NOT auto-razed and it HAD some culture...
