Razing your own city
I have read in one post that you can destroy your cities. I'm asking how can I do this??

THANKS

In PTW only, you can Right-Click on the city and "Abandon City." You get nothing in return, no Workers. Not available in Civ3.

Abandon city is also available in vanilla Civ3, but you need the 1.29 patch.

Why would you want to destroy your own cities? You could have a strategic reason for this, of course, but I think that in most cases if someone feels the need to destroy one of his own cities, he/she made a bad planning.

if you have civ3 but no 1.29 patch, the only method for getting rid of your own cities ist to get pop down to 1 or 2 and to build a worker or settler without surplus food.

Of course, if you have Civ3 but no 1.29f patch, get the patch!

Sometimes when I'm at war I capture and enemy city but don't raze it, I capture it say, because it has a harbor or barracks intact and I need it for the war. Once the war ends however, I would like to make the cities in different places so I abandon it and build a new one in the site that I like.

If I build them to close I could just raze them.

I tried to build a settler or worker but that didn't worked, but maybe I try once more

And I think the patch wouldn't work with "not quite legal" version of civ3 .

The settler/worker trick only works if the city is running a food deficit so make sure you start starving the population before you try it.

Bit drastic that last idea but suppose it could be fun

A few reasons to raze (abandon) your own city
1) just captured it
2) Palace Jump
3) Has a Small Wonder that you want to rebuild elseware (I did that once with my FP)
4) City shares too many tiles with another (like a city you built for culture warfare)
5) To clear a site you intend to build a future city on ( a city could be badly placed or you may need to change the site to build the Iron Works)
