Monsters: Combat is automatically initiated when your party moves to a tile occupied by a monster. Cities: Capturing Cities increases the amount of land your race transforms per day. Cities have their own guards, and may have one additional party present. When you conquer an enemy city, it immediately falls under your control. The terrain under it is transformed, and will continue to transform with each passing turn. In addition, you may now recruit new armies from the city. Simply follow the procedure for recruiting an army in your Capital. Keep in mind that, although you now control the city, it can easily be retaken if you do not defend it. Summoned creatures and Thieves cannot capture enemy cities. For example, if you cast Living Armor, and it defeats the enemies within the city, you will need to move one of your parties into the city in order to transform it. You can upgrade your non -Capital cities if you have enough Gold to make the improvement. Upgrading your cities has the following effects: · · · · Increases the number of units you may put in the City Defense party. Increases the transformation rate of the land surrounding the city.

Note that each upgrade costs an ever-increasing amount of Gold. The arrow keys located on either side of the grow city button allow you to toggle between controlled cities.
