Razing the Dead

[Matternich]

How about this for when a city is razed.

When a city (say above 6 population) is razed the tile should leave rubble which has to cleared like pollution but will allow a new settler to build as normal there.
When a city above 12 is razed in addtion to the rubble a random amount of improvements round a one tile radius are destroyed.

The rubble should also appear when a city is abandoned.

Also when a city is abandoned all it's population should appear on that same tile. Where else do they go to? If you kill them there should be a negative reaction to this in nearby cities.

The same should apply when a city is razed except only a random percentage of the total population should appear depending on government- so a democracy who razes a city would capture most of that cities citizens
but another government would be more likely to kill them in the razing process.

Rubble should definately be clearable. I hate seeing ugly ruins all over the map. Maybe rubble could cut the food production in its square.

I think rubble within your borders should give bonus culture and gold, representing tourism.

^ Good idea, but it should work from industrial age onwards..

And only for things destroyed a long time ago (you wouldn't generate much tourism from burning a huge city to the ground along with seven Great Wonders then slaughtering all twelve million people inside, now would you?)

Rubble *is* clearable - just build an improvement on it and it'll go away.

Any city razed from 1 age ago whose ruins are in your terrirtory should produce 1 gpt, and then 1 more gpt for every age after.. so 2 ages ago=2gpt, 3=3gpt. And yes, foor production should be -50%, same with normal production for rubble squares.. have to trade off eweather you want the $$ for it.. or the food (also cities that had wonders.. or capitols would be 1 extra GPT per wonder.) So, a capitol that is 1 age old with 3 wonders in it would be worth 5gpt. or if it was from 3 ages ago it would be 7 gpt.

i remember when i made my first kill..

on the island he was on it had 6 rubbles... i felt bad so i sent a transport full of workers to plant trees on them..

it was both "to cover up the paste and leave no traces" yet my way of sorta saying... "respect" .... not really i know but you cant really build a garden or something....

In my opinion, rubble looks cool. And besides, it builds character and hardens my citizens so they can be drafted at 16 to serve a 15 year military service abroad.
