Selling Cities
There's probably been a thread on this already, so forgive the repetition.
When you sell a city, I know the units you leave in there get teleported back to your capital. That is, they don't go to the recipient as is the case for a city that voluntarily defects to the other side.
What happens to the buildings in the city sold? Do they stay intact or is it as though a military conflict happened and buildings are demolished in the process?
I wanted to screw around with the military regional balance of the map. So I built cities on small unsettled areas between others' borders. I had no intention of keeping or developing these little towns myself, I only wanted to give the cities as gifts to other nations. I thought this would increase the possibility of war by having as many of the other powers in close proximity to each other.
To give these new towns a cultural boost, I thought to build at least a temple there so that the borders would expand to fill the gaps. I can't trust the new owner to build one on his own and I just need to know whether the temple I leave behind will remain standing after the city transfers.
I suppose I could save the game and spy for the info, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate them.
