What to do with enemy cities

[Sheldon666]

Hello all!
I´m playing Mission 4 of Act 1, I am on turn 22.
Just reached the huge Loth-city with the wall in the north (north-east).
For the first time I have to think about what to do: pillage, raze, convert...
(I play in an foreign language so I don´t know the exact term)
At first I chose to just "let it be" and get some ressources because I didn´t want to waste 4 Turns with my main wielder on converting. But now I think how helpful a new big city could be ;)
What do you think?

Obviously best is to convert it, although you don't need to do it with the strongest wielder, in which you are right. Instead you could occupie it for the few turns you need to send a weaker wielder in and push further with the main.

Occupie would than allow you to gain ressources in between while keeping all buildings standing. So it's used the most by me to let some time pass if I know I want to convert it.

I choose to raze cities which I know I can't hold for too long or if I want to go ahead and it's a small or large settlement. They don't give you the option to occupie there, so it's kinda a substitute.
