Unable to Raze PTW

[ezdraft]

Hi Everyone,
For some reason we are playing PTW and we cant raze cities? I thought it might have been the goverment choice but i changed and still no raze option? Any help

 

[Civddict]

abandon city?

 

[ezdraft]

Yes i can abandon cities but sometimes you dont want a city too close to the capital of another civ you are attacking, and abandoning takes a turn or so, i did give one to another civ to try to get them involved in the war but is there a bug that does not allow you to Raze?

ezdraft: abandon can b e done anytime by right-clicking on the town. abandonin via settler takes time.

raze or not - you get this optin when you take the town unless it is too small to stay.

OK, what i am describing is possibly a bug. I am not given the option to Raze a city, is there any government/situation other that the city is too small that you are not given the option to raze? it just takes it over. Also when i did use the abandon option i left the city but it stayed for one turn and the iroquious took it over. I am playing PTW in multiplayer mode and the other human civ cant raze either, thanks, Raff

Sounds like a bug. When you conquer the city, you should immediately get the option of Razing. And also, abandoning should happen instantaneously.

can you post a savegame where this happenes?

 

[ezdraft]

Sure, we wont be playing again til monday, where do i post it? I am new to this board

Then doesn't this thread belong in PTW bug reports?

ezdraft:
If the SAV file is over 100 KB (I'm betting it is) then you have to upload it to the uploads folder at the bottom of the page, where it says "Upload Files" Then post a link to it in a post.

ezdraft: mail it to me and I'll post it.

If the city is at size one and has no culture, it's autorazed.

 

[ezdraft]

These are at least 2s

I just started playing this game again today, i attacked the ottomons and it was even a 1 population and it didnt just raze itself, it gave it to me without giving me the option.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

I cna raze in both saves

e.g. i cna raze S*ithole, size 1, no culture.

Could it be something to do with when multiplayer is active? I posted this in the bug section and someone replied that they have seen this too, they told me to abandon city, but that takes a turn to do and sometimes you dont want the city or just want to disrupt the civ you are at war with. The way Sh*thole became an egyptian city is that it use to belong to the iroquois and when i took it i wanted to raze it (it was a 4 or better city) and it just assigned it to me as if i chose to keep it, also the game is not prompting me with build orders which is weird. I then tried to hold it but the iroquois came with a stack of almost 30 units, so I looked into abandoning the city but that takes a turn and they were two turns away. So i gave it to the egyptians (after renaming it of course) Yesterday i also took the ottomon city near their capital and it was a 1 and it didnt raze itself, what could it be?

ezdraft, you are not crazy. I was wondering about your exact problem (no option to raze a city in multiplayer) myself when I found your thread.

Just like you, in my multiplayer PTW games, upon taking a city I do not get an option to raze it -- I just get it. And abandoning it takes too long sometimes. If anyone is still reading this thread, could you point me to an answer to this problem? I am playing with the newest patch (as of January 2003 -- ver 1.4f, or whatever.)

Interesting, I have the same problem in PTW. Never an option to raze, I have seen it time and time again, just assumed it was a bug. Glad to see I'm not alone, but intrigued that others, possibly even on the same save game, actually get the option!
