Yes, as far as I remember there's no population decrease for air/sea
attacks in either Civ1 or Civ2.

Bombardments in CTP can decrease population, regardless of what type of
unit is bombarding.  (Of course, Freeciv does not have bombardment yet.)
(And the population decrease is *important* in CTP because you have
to disband most of the cities you capture so you don't go over the
magic limit.  Damn I hate that....)
