bombarding city, not falling

[xdutchboyx]

I've had about 6-7 units surrounding this coastal city (longbowmen and catapults and a boat or two) and this city is not falling. It's been on just a 1/100 condition for about 40 turns now. Do I have the wrong units? Why isn't it falling?

Send a melee unit in, ranged units cannot capture a city.

Also, whenever I attack it says "approx hit damage 0"

Ahhhh thank u!

Did you not read the 400+ page manual that was in the box when you purchased the game?
Only kidding.

Made the same mistake myself at least once...

The AI makes it all the time. So frustrating to see it attack with cannons and crossbowmen, only to lose them all one by one as the city whittles them down. Then the AI shows up and does the same thing again.

I really don't think Firaxis understood what a downer it is to see your game ruined by having to watch an AI that can't play.
