Vanquished Civilization not Vanquished?

[BrianL03]

In my Rhye's of Civ (2.61) game I was playing, I recently declared war on the Byzantines, a civilzation of two cities, one located at RL Istanbul, the other at RL Sevastopol. I had recently, just before going to war with the Byzantines, traded world maps, and these were their only two cities.

However, after I conquered the two cities, the Byzantines weren't vanquished. What gives? I'm a Republic, so I don't want this war to be dragging on, and nor do I want votes against me at the UN.

They probably have a settler sitting in a boat somewhere. Kill it, and they be vanquished!

Are you certain that they did not have time to build a new city before you destroyed the two that you saw? Either they have a new city somewhere, or a settler moving somewhere that's going to build one. Seek and destroy!

You also have to think about the AI respawn option being on . You may
have to get peace for now until you verify where the city is and how you are
going to get there for .

AI Respawn is not on... I purposely turn that off because I hate that function.

hmmmm... I thought after cities were destroyed, remaining units would die off?

Oh well, looks like I'll have to go get everyone at war with them/hunt down that dang boat >___<

go fig my navy consists of three Galleons ^^;;

I can't stand that function either . I turn it off also.

Does the AI leave settlers on boats? More likely it was on its way somewhere or already settled. Could have got to anywhere though if the map is quite densely poplulated

If they have a settler on land when you take or destroy their last city, that settler will immediately build a city where they stand. If they are inside someone else's cultural borders, this is a declaration of war and the city usually doesn't last long.

The AI will put a settler on a boat and search for anything including a 1-tiles island. Happened to me once in the Test of Time mod. I wiped out all of their cities and traded maps with every other civ to find the missing city. I finally got tired of hunting signed a peace treaty with them and suddnely a 1-tiled island had a city of thiers. An island I checked 3 times. Then when I went to investigate, a boat next to the island with the city. Once I attacked it and took the city they were finally gone.
