The city view screen is disabled in scenarios for Conquests. There was too many problems with showing it correctly. There's no switch or patch to install to allow this.

what do you mean disabled?

Not working. IIRC they turned it off to save the trouble of adjusting to 'new' improvements and wonders.

Turner does not lie - city view is disabled for the conquest scens. Not a big deal now is it?

I have maybe the illusion that enemy capitals get some kind of extra defense bonus. Is there anything that anyone here knows that can prove or disprove that?
IIRC, capital towns and cities do get a higher defensive bonus: a town will get the bonus of a city, and a city will get the bonus of a metro. I don't know about capital metros. (Note that the graphic for the city on the map reflects this.)
I have heard that the capitol gets a bonus, but I know of no evidence of that.
It's been years, and a quick search didn't turn anything up, but I *think* I remember the devs saying once that, while the art for the capital city was bumped up one from it's actual size (town/city/metro), it didn't get any special bonus. E.g., if it was size 6, it would look like a city, but receive a Town combat bonus.
Or I could be completely mistaken.

Here is an old post by Tomoyo from this very thread on whether capitals get a higher defense bonus:
I did a quick test to see if a size 1 capital was considered a city.
50 Chinese warriors outside Moscow, defended by 50 Russian warriors, all regulars. Terrain is desert modified to be +0% defense. Chinese warriors dealt 106 hps of damage, while Russian warriors dealt 109 hps of damage. Chinese warriors won 24 battles, and Russian warriors won 26 battles. Chinese warriors promoted nine times. Russian warriors promoted nine times naturally, and once forced.
Capitals are towns no matter what they look like.

ok ive got a question do the AI send very large attacks in conquests im on chieftan (because im a complete noob) but when i played the vanilla version i never got many significant naval attaks and they never really sent any big groups of ground forces to "get me"but im worried about a rther large force of russian knights(well i would show you the screnshot but i cant figure out how to get the image to pop up here)
I guess the answer is a function of how the game progressed. I would expect that any nations that were allowed to remain free of war with you will eventually send a good size force. That is, ifit does not have to come overseas.
Naval attacks will be pitiful on Chief and won't be real robust, until you get to a much higher level.
