I was in an early war with China yesterday (classical era, marathon speed). I had their capital surrounded and they offered a surrender that handed over their second largest (pop 5) city. I accepted the deal as I did not have the seige units I needed to capture their capital (yet).
When the city was passed to me (basically a "peaceful" trade) I noticed it had no buildings in it what so ever. Does trading a city cause the same building loss as conquering a city? I always assumed a trade would keep everything intact. I expected to atleast see a monument, grainery, and possibly a library.
