Can anybody tell me this ?
I don't want those stupid Gaian cities, I want those treehuggers eradicated and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, when an isle of the deep attacks an unprotected sea-base it sinks them, but when I send about my probe teams to blow up their pressure dome it doesn't work, why not ?????
Please fix this, Brian Reynolds it really hate micromanaging 80 cities of which 60 are conquered and useless.

Same Here. I can't stand them. Do you succeed when you try and destroy the pressure domes? if you dont of course the cities will survive. But if you do destroy it the city should sink. (Have you got Patch V3.0)
Regards,
Bossman

No I don't have patch 3.0, infact my copy is illegal version 0.95 without the movies etc. hmmmmm... maybe I should stop parting so much, stop buying lots of beer and buy SMAC in the stores. Thanks anyway Bossman, this explains everything.

I don't recall this being fixed in 3.0. The last time I blew up a pressure dome with a probe, the city didn't drown. But its been a while so maybe that was 2.0?

You don't have to micro manage all your
cities. Just do like I do.

When I conquar a city I simply activate the
governor and let him automate all units.
then I just forget about the city.
