How to capture a city (take over another civilisation) and what is a warmonger penalty?
I've been playing civilisation for just over 5 months and I really don't know how to capture a city. In the industrial era, I invaded one of Poland's cities and easily knocked it down to no health! But the problem is the city wouldn't become mine! I don't know if there's a rule or something that says you have to capture their capital city to take over their civilisation. They have a artillery unit in their city and that's it. They have sea to the south and I am storming them from the west. Their capital city is slightly east of the city I am attacking and I have started sending troops down their. I am running low on soldiers and the only thing that is keeping their cit down is my subs blocking sea-control and reinforcements and my great war bombers and tri-planes! Also, when I scroll over their city with my mouse it says: 'If you take this city you will receive a major warmonger penalty!' I don't know what that means, but I'm guessing it's really bad (lose a lot of money or something). Please help!
