I treat that as an exploit even though the AI does it. I just figure that is too powerful to use.

The AI doesn't actually use RoP rape. It may attack you when you have a RoP in place, and it may use that to get 1 unit into your core region to take a city, but the AI will never move it's entire army into position and then attack.

If it is under a civs cultural control that civ get a point for it unless another civ has a unit on it. If a civ has a unit on a tile THEY get the point for it, not the cultural controller. I have built huge numbers of Spearmen and fortify them on all the tiles of the enemy city and just wait for it to culture flip. It is a very slow game, but I am just playing it to see if it is possible to win through not attacking.

Arrian, I've seen the AI use a ROP-rape with great(but futile) effect. I lost 20+ workers to it once. May have been a coincidence but I didn't have a single worker left on that continent afterwards. All of them were deep inside my territory and in small groups(2-4).

I don't tend to start razing cities until the industrial age.
But I have razed an entire continent before, because they pissed me off (they = England). Every city, every tile improvement. Gone. You never were, Liz!

I'm with ya Arrian! I recently finished a game where I razed all of Liz's cities (after nuking a good portion of them) because she was such a bloody wench!
