Has a Civ ever been willing to give up a base?

[EternalSpark]

In every one of my games, the AI never wants to give up a base. Not that I'd typically want them*, but it seems weird.

Maybe this was a reaction to the whole "offer Morgan 4 creds a year and he'd give you Morgan Megagodliness"?


* Unless, of course, the occasional "Toku made a base about a billion miles away from the rest of his, just to score the 3 things of Ivory near me".

they do in my games.... Not "Core" cities or cities with strategic purposes (resources), but i've often been able to trade cities.

Not just from defeating enemies, but also from a civ that i had a perm alliance with.

Easy pickings for cultural flips.

Cultural flips are best used against stupid civs who build a city on the tiles of hinterland on your continent or island that you didn't want to colonize.

I had a civ give me a city in exchange for a treaty.
Funny thing was, I wasn't even overwhelming him, I had pulled back after taking a couple of cities and was gonna ask for peace anyway.
It was a half decent city too

When you ask for a treaty, NEVER just offer a treaty... ALWAYS ask 'what will it take for a treaty' - the AI will offer what they think is right.
If you are more powerful than them, you can bet they will offer gold (sometimes 100s), or even a city.
