City does not level up

from Elemental Forums

Here's the deal. I captured a city early on, and it refuses to level. I have been TOLD, that "cities captured from minor factions don't level up. This is intentional."

First of all: Is this true? Because, the game gives NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER that this is the case. I am told that "this settlement will level up when it reaches 50 citizens", despite it having 65 citizens. It says this in multiple locations.

Second  of all: Is this true? If so, WHY? When all I have to do is drop a pioneer 5 feet away to get a city that WILL level up, it seems nonsensical.

It is true. As far as I know, these cities should allow you to train the special units that the minor factions have access to.

Wait? What? Cities from minor people don't level up? Whats the point of them then? Someone mod-fix this, please.

Also, regarding special units, they are often located next to a special unit resource. I doubt that they require you to capture the city to obtain it. We all might just be better off destroying the minors for their land and re-settling.

Well the point is that they enable the recruitment of the special units. If SD did it right, then razing the city would disable the improvement. Not that I'm saying that they *shouldn't* level up, but there is a point to them.

Are you talking about the little orc warren next to the city that I can't use because I'm not an empire? xD

Still a bug. We either need to change it in the description OR let them level up.

I would suggest: let them level up. Was great fun in MOM to start out small, capture an 'alien' city, and in effect switch to this one, taking over both worlds with it  :rofl:

I'd say let them level up, since every time I'm playing Kingdom I'm probably just gonna raze them and rebuild em if they're in a good spot.
