Thread: Sacking question

Is there a way to sack a settlement and not keep it? without moving your army out and letting it revolt.

maybe something in the code or a mod?
I find that in some situations, I dont want to keep a city, just harass the enemy and make some extra money.
thanks,

Just sacking it, destroying the buildings and leaving it without a garrison isn't good enough? I would say that the enemy would be pretty annoyed with you and you'll make a good profit out of it too.

Especially when it would take over 100 turns to return the place to its former glory

Plus they have to retake the city from the rebels ;)

I like the idea of sacking it but not taking it.

When you take the settlement and destroy all the buildings:

-When it revolts, a huge garrison of ultra-good units will be spawned
-It would take an extremely long time to rebuild the settlement if you ever decide to keep it or take it.
-It'd be kinda dumb to take a perfectly good settlement and then purposely let it rebel

The no-take-but-sack option would be great for raiding cities that you may later conquer.

The purposeful rebellion would only be good for cities that you don't care about or will never need, such as settlements on the opposite side of europe, or settlements in areas of different religions.

Surround n Pound... smash and gash... slash and burn... then let revolt.

It's the only way to be a merciless exterminating warlord. We aren't farmers, we are pillagers and pirates.
