    Djengis offers a city

    I'm playing Abraham lincoln in CIV 4 BTS at prince level.
    It's 1075 BC. The mongols are to the east of me and cut off by me. I seem to be much more advanced in tech and population, but djengis has axes while I have only warriors. I've hooked up far-away copper, but need another 10 turns or so to connect it to my happy size8 high production capital.
    Djengis has had the axe-handle random event and a barracks, so his axemen are mostly combat II+shock.
    There's a stack of 3 axemen in the nearest city and 2 roaming
    about my territory. I started producing warriors (I can do 1/turn) and researching archery, but if he comes for me now it's goodbye capital. He already asked me to stop trading with Sitting Bull, wich I did of course and then....

    He gave me one of his cities out of respect!
    What's this? Is this a trick? There's no way I could hold this
    city, but it should slow him down so I can save the capital at least.

      He's realized that he can't manage his cities, so he's letting you build his empire for him.

        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

          Although if you're worried about an assault, why are you building the Pyramids?

            The culture from Washington was too much for the small city with 0 culture to handle. This happens from time to time when you have a city with overwhelming culture and the AI foolishly founds a city right next to the border.

            Just a couple of days ago I was playing Emperor and Suleiman offered me one of his cities that he had founded just outside my capital, which had 2 wonders and was the center of a religion.

            I've also found Hannibal to be one of those guys who loves to give away cities - and for some peculiar reason the city he always offers is Kerkouane. I have no idea why but out of the 5 times I've gotten a city from the AI for free, 3 times have been Kerkouane from Hannibal. Strange.

              Normally, cities revolt at least once before flipping, but he just gave it away to prevent a revolt. Not a smart move IMO. Anyway he sent an expedition through my territory to a barbarian town, and then declared war when I already had catapults, and he had no more than axemen and archers.

              I had started to built the pyramids when I became worried about Djengis. I was able to finish it after building some more troops.
