Taking Over A City

Question for the community

When playing and you take over a city from the opposing faction. Kingdom vs. Empire or Empire vs. Kingdom you get the city intact. Are you supposed to be able to build all of your stuff in the city as well. If so, aren't you creating a super city. If you take over a large city that has all the buildings of the Empire level 4 city, and then you build all of your Level 4 Kingdom buildings. Something just seems wrong. It doesn't give you the option to Raze the city immediately, which i don't like, you should be able to raze it as soon as you march into it. Should the old buildings be destroyed. Something about taking over the city seems out of place.

There is a limit to how may tiles a city can be built on. So if you march into a fully built city, you likely won't be able to build more than a couple extra buildings.

It doesn't give you the option to Raze the city immediately, which i don't like, you should be able to raze it as soon as you march into it.

If you have the proper tech researched, you can select the city, click on the big portrait in the middle of the UI, and choose 'raze' immediately after marching into it. (And there is a bug that allows you to raze a city even without the tech, when you select it and press 'X')

But you can have the effects from both Empire and Kingdom buildings. Seems weird somehow. Right now I usually keep the food resources and and get rid of the others.

what is the tech you need to research. I thought I just had to have the city for awhile which seemed odd.

Hmm.... fortifications? I know it's the same that unlocks the 'fortify' command for your units. For kingdom at least, i'm not all that familiar with empire research tree(i like painting the land in green better )
