Land Grab
In my current game as the Greeks the AI actually made me laugh with its desire to expand like mad.
The Egyptians (who I have to say should be considered with caution much like Yang or Miriam in Smac. I say this because any time in any game I ask them to withdraw Cleo always says they will and then doesn't) had settlers constantly trying to reach an area of 'open' land in the heart of my empire. (it was full of jungle. I had workers clearing it but no city i it) Finally I built the city because I knew sooner or later they'd sneak one in. But then...
They dropped a settler off on a one tile coastal square and built a city! One tile! A DESERT tile! Then the romans did the SAME thing! Both cities revolted soon after. WTF? Doesn't the AI see how pointless a city like that is?

You are so anti-america that having a conversation with you would be poinless. You may or maynot feel you are an enemy of the United States, I don't care either way. However if I still worked for the Goverment I would turn over your e-mail address to my bosses and what ever happen, happens.

Yes, when I played the Ring World map with the Persians I started in the south-eastern corner, and my best move was to take over a big desert by building 6-7 small crappy cities that were costing me lots of gold... But then, when the Oil popped up.

When these pointless cities revolt to your cause, I think there are two options: 1 welcome them in 2 Rebuff them. What does the 2nd one do? Does the city disband?

...because its name is New Karachi and that just seems a little odd between Konigsburg and Leipzig. ...one of these things is not like the other...
yes I know you can rename them. I just found it somewhat amazing that the Indians built a city (New Karachi) on a chunk of Jungle left on on the far fringe of MY continent...and after I took it and renamed it Charlottenburg (I was running low on good German names) they went and made another New Karachi a little further down....for diplomatic reasons that one stayed as is until shortly after I got Panzers
