    I guess the "aggressor" when a city is destroyed is the city's owner.

    that makes me wonder... could there be diplomatic penalties if your city is destroyed by a volcano if they city has more than 50% foreign citizens (because it could count as "abandoning" the city)?

      I've lost my capital to a volcano on turn 5 before.


      EDIT: And it's not a text bug, it's a code bug. It actually counts as a conquest victory if you get destroyed by a volcano.

          My first experience with a volcano was an ironic one. I moved a Warrior onto a volcano and thought that you shouldn't be able to stand on the volcano itself. But, since I could, I wondered if it errupted, did it hit the unit, or just the tile nearby. Next turn it errupted and my unit died, answering my question.

            That's what I said - it was a code bug. There is some "aggressor" variable when a city is conquered or razed, and in the event of a volcano it apparently is the owner of the city. (A good fix would be to make it barbarians).

            How's it count as a conquest victory, though? Aren't there lots of other civs left?

                  The natural? disaster I'd really like to see is the global-warming induced flood that was in CTP1 and 2. It made it so pollution wasn't something you could just shrug off.

                    Actually, I hated that part of CTP, mainly because I found, no matter how dilligent you were about clearing pollution, the AI rarely cleaned its up. The player would get massively punished for the stupidity of the AI.

                    As it stands, I would be surprised if many players shrug off pollution. By the time it becomes a major problem, most players have so many workers that it's no big deal cleaning the squares. Worst case, it takes me 4 or 5 turns to mass enough workers to clean it rapidly.

                      Do you bother to clean up volcano pollution if it's in a square you don't use?

                              if it's in my workable land? eventually. no rush though.

                              if i "own" it, but will never use the tile, EVER, probably not until i have nothing better to do with my workers.

                                No, global warming is not caused by pollution on the map, it is caused by pollution points in all cities combined.

                                Prior to industrialisation, there is no global warming even if you never clean a tile of volcano ejecta.
