    How to abandon unit and city?

    Hi,

    just tried out the demo. How can I abandon a unit or a city like in Civilization III?

    Thanks

    I don't know if it says that, but press the right lever (?). It is called also (S) if i remember, whatever you can understand that maybe

    PS: you can't abandon a city from Civilization IV, and here you can't raze a city.

    Too bad. In Civ II you could abandon a city with a population of 1 by building a settler (gives you an option to abandon the city or to delay settler production). In Civ III there was a nice command to raze a city. Don't know about Civ IV, never played that.

    Not so bad, because you can't lose gold for your cities, the only problem is that if you need that a city take some resources you can't take all, but you can stop the production in that city and the city bigger could take all but 1 resources, if it's the problem. Whatever it could be a problem if an enemy take that city and you lose gold

    How to destroy a city

    People have been asking me if i knew how to destroy a city. so i'm guessing its a popular question.

    To destroy a city You will need to be a republic and have a size 2 city. Set it to settler, then change all builders to hammers. After you have done that change governments to anthing else. The city will eat it self up and u will recieve a setler in its place which u can use to make another city in a more desirable location

    of course there is always the nuke or barbarians

    MOD-Edit: Please consider where posting new topics. Also please reply to a question in the same topic and do not create a new one. Thanks!

    Edit: Sorry didn't see this ;(

    You need to be Republic when the city is size 2. Start the settler build, then before it completes change govt again.

    And you haven't tried it i think, because it is an illegal action, it means that you can't do it, the production of the settler still continue but you can't build it

    Strange i just tried it and it didnt work but in the game where it happened it did work it was by accident and its destroyed it self plus my libary lol. but i cant seem to replicate this maybe it was a bug which wasnt meant to happen. It would of happened when i discovered democracy and changed over. maybe thats what i should be trying to simulate it again. but either way it doesnt seem like it works..

    ya, i tried doing that accidentally once.

    I tried to rush production of a settler after I changed from republic to democracy.

    It cost gold, but a settler wasn't produced and the city stayed at 2 pop
