Razing Cities in MP

[Sultan Bhargash]

Yes, I am enjoying MP at last, an almost regular paced game using the Dinobarbs mod. Last night I achieved a spectacular surprise grab of the opponent human's city (there are also 2 AI civs), and it didn't give me the option to raze it. So I asked to abandon it, and it told me I would have to wait till next turn.

Well, the other guy was able to recapture the city and hold it and will win the game because of this major departure from the civ working I am used to.

What's the deal with no chance to immediately raze the city?

not sure, but it sounds like they ripped you off. I wonder why that happened?

I think that it does usually give you the option to raze. When I play if I raze or I abandon it still always takes me 1 comlete turn to wait, in which your opponent could take it back

I learned by posting this same thread in the General Forum that indeed, cities by human players in MP wont go away till the next turn. Supposed to make it harder and it sure as #### did!!

Also you cannot raze or abandon cities in when the elimination option is selected.
