Is there any way a captured but non-ceded city can grow again?

In Civ 6 an opponent has to cede a captured city to you for it to grow again.

Is there any way around this - including with Wonders or Civics or anything else?

I have now wiped out a civilization before he could cede his cities to me - am I now stuck forever with non-growing cities?

On a related note if you decide not to raze a city as soon as you capture it - is there any way to raze it later?

(I can see this leading to ridiculous anti-pattern moves like allowing a city to be captured so you can recapture it again and raze it).

On another related point if a non-ceded city is captured by a third party - do you need to cede it to them or does the original owner? And what if the original owner is dead?

What do you do with a captured city in Civ 5?

  • Make the city a puppet.
  • Raze the city to the ground.
  • Liberate the city and give it back to its original owner.


  • Should I keep captured cities Civ 6?

    In general, fans should almost always try to keep the cities that they capture in Civilization 6, as they are worth, at the very least, the Production associated with building a Settler.

    What happens when you capture a city state Civ 6?

    A city-state may capture other cities as part of warfare, but it doesn't have any desire to keep them (since this would go against their policy of non-expansionism). If possible, the city-state will raze every captured city.

    What does it mean to cede a city?

    If you are the original owner of the city that was captured, "cede" means giving up the city to them. If you are the aggressor who took the city from the original owner, "return" means giving it back to the original owner.
