    Default Practical ways of totally leveling a place.

    In the modern age, we have all sorts of toys and gadgets that go BOOM.

    In Antiquity, how does a vengeful strategos exterminate a place for good? Wholesale slaughter and enslavement works well for the humans and barbaroi. But what of the farms, walls and buildings? Salting a place can only be a metaphorical expression. Salt was worth it's weight in gold back then.

    Flooding by redirecting rivers/damming has been done before, but not all places have a large enough body of water near it...
