When obliterating the AI do you...

... raze all the cities, starve out the enemy so there is fewer of the opposing nationals in your new cities, leave stacks of units behind to lessen the chance of a flip, or what?

Personally, I rarely raze. I mostly starve 'em out and settle in the gaps.

build workers and settlers out of them.

Maybe you didn't forget entirely. Workers and Settlers are just another means of population reduction, much as starving is.

I usually keep them, BUT.. now that I am playing SID, I raze them without hesitation UNLESS I need a wonder. Then it is starvation mode, and a stack of units ready to retake the city. If it pisses me off enough, I just get my eraser.. I am as u know, VERY impatien.. thee hee
