While playing on Emperor difficulty, I decided to take an enemy city. The notification said I would only receive a "minor" penalty, which I thought was no big deal. Turns out the enemy had at least 20 units hanging around nearby. Over the next 15 turns, I lost the city at least 7 times and ended up having to recapture it 8 times. That being said, does that mean a "minor" penalty is added every time I try to capture a city? I'm not a warmonger… just stubborn.

Quote from the wiki : about warmonging points
So as you're not the original owner you will suffer multiple penalties. However the larger the map is, the less the penalty is (see the wiki for the math calculation).
