Will "Raze City" reduce area corruption?

[Pak0tac]

So im playing Orcs and as I push North-West there are a lot of corruption areas up over there.
So as my 4 doomstacks cutitng through everything, im struggling with capturing lands due to massive corruption everywhere. So i been thinking about just to raze whole rigions, will it hlep?

So far i only used the usualy solutions, such as special building and agents, but its slow

That depends on the cause.

well lets say the vapires to the North, if i raze all their cities, will it remove the corruption? like in a quick way?

You will not remove the existing corruption.
You quickly cut down on all corruption spawning buildings but you still would need your own corruption (untainted) to gradually remove it.

You also will never get a province to no corruption spawning effects, every region, razed or not, has its own local populace corruption effect which stays forever (1 for each region).

Your strategy will remove the spread of corruption to adjacent regions though (osmosis) but still it will not quickly remove corruption levels, those still need untainted spread and it's usually faster taking those settlements and build dedicated buildings that spread your corruption

Vamps have osmosis corruption abilities to adjacent provinces and normal causes in-province, so that would help. If local populace is Untainted the ruins would have the province slowly move towards Untainted, but I don't think this is faster than just taking the province, and add with buildings and heroes.
