I think it depends on how long it takes to capture a building versus destroy it. I always destroy civic centers, then build a new one, which captures all of the nearby enemy buildings. I also tend to destroy towers just cause they take out way to many of my units while I try to do other stuff.

Haven’t noticed that, what maps are you playing?

My favorite has always been the Athenians, though getting to hunt enemy soldiers with the British war dogs is super fun.

Hands down the Roman’s are THE hardest ai civ. With super powerful champions and a lot of siege machines, they can overwhelm my armies in a few minutes.
