Arqade Asked on July 30, 2021
As probably happened in history, I am on a rampage and intend to fully obliterate an opposing faction.
As such, I do not want to have to garrison newly conquered cities, which gives me the choice of leaving a strong defence and reducing the momentum of my Bltzkrieg, or risking having he cities recaptured.
Can I "salt the earth" of conquered cities (destroy them immediately)?
IIRC, Master of Orion 2 gave the option of reducing population by 1 each turn, until the city eventually disappeared. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I want them GONE – and now.
I had considered nuking them, but often my troops are too near, and Gaea already hates me because of my production.
So, ISTR there is a disband option for cities, though it might be buried. At the very least, however, you can create colony pods - each one consumes a unit of population and if you make a colony pod with your last pop, it essentially deletes the city. These colony pods can then be disbanded, or shipped back to your production centers to add population there.

Yes you can. Combat Units can Obliterate the Base:
Order | Requirements | Hotkey | Effect |
---|---|---|---|
Obliterate Base | Must be a combat unit inside a base. | B | Destroys the base, killing all citizens and permanently destroying any secret projects at the base. This is considered an atrocity |
It make sense to sell base facilities first.
Personally, I find obliterating newly captured bases ineffective unless I have solid military concerns (e.g. risk of espionage or a recapture):
