Civilization 6: Should You Keep or Raze Cities | Game Rant
After a player has successfully captured a city in Civilization 6 they will be confronted with a big question: Should they keep the city or should they raze it? As with many of the decisions that arise during a game of Civ 6, the best way to proceed with this one may not always be immediately obvious, and this guide looks to detail what players should be thinking about during their conquests.
In general, fans should almost always try to keep the cities that they capture in Civilization 6, as they are worth, at the very least, the Production associated with building a Settler. The value of a city increases further if Districts, Wonders, and Improvements have been established in it, and this means that it is even more likely that a player should keep a conquered settlement as a game goes on.
To note, some players may be tempted to raze a city in Civilization 6 is if it has falling Loyalty and is likely to be lost to revolt. However, this is not usually the best approach, and fans should instead do what they can to swing Loyalty in the other way. This can be accomplished by placing a Civ 6 Governor in the city, building a Monument, chopping out additional Population, increasing Amenities, continuing to conquer cities, and more, and players should pursue all of these options if a settlement is headed towards becoming a Free City.
That said, sometimes it will simply not be possible to keep a city from revolting, but even then it is preferable to avoid razing it. Indeed, it is advisable to simply let those settlements turn into Free Cities and then recapture them, or let them return to the player's empire naturally, once the dominating Civ 6 capital has been taken and the issue with Loyalty has been fully resolved in the area.
With this being the case, it is hard to come up with many instances where it is best to raze a city in Civilization 6 outside of a player simply not wanting the settlement. Perhaps a fan could justify destroying a city in Civ 6 that is an exceptionally bad position if it is possible to resettle in an excellent position in the same area, though it is important to consider all of the Production that would be lost before making that choice.
Civilization 6 is available for iOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
