QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
>Why does a neutral city have a different bonus than an enemy city?
Neutral cities have their defensive bonus halved, and rounded down.
>Why does an enemy city with no production still get a +1 bonus?
We like to imagine that the city walls are still standing and therefore
the city's fortifications still provide extra defense.
>Why does a razed city not get a +1 bonus?
We like to imagine that there's nothing left but burned-out rubble,
so there are no fortifications.
