I have an addiction to conquering large tracts of land, but it's not the land itself I want. It's all those sexy sexy cities I want to shove into the gluttonous maw of my obese empire.
Problem is it even though my economy stays strong, I keep up with techs and my civis are mostly ok, I find myself rapidly collapsing.
If I want to continue conquering sickening tracts of land, must I raze cities? Can I go half and half and raze the real crappy one's like I dunno Plymouth and Cherbough but keep Paris and Marsilles?
Also is there any circumstance where giving away cities helps? It seems to detrimental to stability to be of any use. I enjoy a good civil war as much as the next fellow but two or three in one game, while historical is perhaps too much.
