Yet another "raze cities?" discussion...

[Kaede11]

Hello there,

I have found a barbarian city located in a very very bad spot. I want to get rid of those pesky barbarians but keeping that city would only increaes my maintenance costs, so I want to raze it.

I've been reading in the forums that you can raze the city when it's under "rebellion" status, those 2-3 turns after conquering it. To do so, you just have to do as if you were trying to destroy an improvement from any tile. Sadly, the game does not even allow me to click that button because it's not in the menu.

What am I doing wrong? I've checked BUG options and have nothing strange activated to prevent my units from sacking my own improvements...

Could you post your save game? The expected behavior is just as you are describing, so something else has to be wrong.

Quick solution to Query. It takes MULTIPLE pillages to raise a city, each pillage has the chance to remove 1 population point. Alt-p is the hot key.

As for not being able to pillage, maybe its culturally your tile?? and you can't pillage your own improvements. Click on the bug option to allow pillaging of own improvements and you'll be allowed.

I know it takes multiples pillages to raze a city... I simply cannot pillage the city. I've checked the BUG options and I think that pillaging my own improvements is allowed. I'll have a look again today.

I'll try to post my save, but I'll have to wait until someone captures a city because we discovered the issue a while back.

Thanks.

We are talking about a hotseat game, but I don't think it should make any difference.
