City maxed at level 1??

from Elemental Forums

Early in my game last night i captured an enemy city (his only one). I started building and managing it and noticed it was only level 1. My other cities where all at level 3. When i moused over the level progress bar which was pegged it said that the city was at it's max level??? I built it up to where it had over 100 population and more huts for expansion but it wouldn't level up?? Can captured cities be leveled up or do they always remain at the level they were when you captured them? Was i doing something wrong...again???  :blush:

I think it's because you annihilated a minor faction instead of a main faction. Minor factions do not expand or level up their cities, as far as I know.

You probably captured one of the minor faction cities, which currently can't be leveled up. Devs have said this could well change in the future. Personally I just raize them and found a new city of my own. Capturing one of the 10 major faction cities allows you to level them up as normal, although there is some weirdness when capturing cities of the opposite alignment (kingdom vs empire) due to duplicate buildings for each alignment.
