Look at a map.
-It is next to the new french capitol.
-There are 3 iroquios warriors next to it.
-There is a roman warrior next to it.
-We have no culture, and no defensive units. The closest unit is what, 10 turns away I guess (don't feel like counting now).
-This city is so far away from our center, that it is almost all corruption.
Thus, I pose the question. Do we give it away? Sell it?
To me, it does not appear to be of much benifit at the present. As a mater of fact, it appears to be a draw on our resources (the money we will have to spend to rush culture to keep it from flipping, and the defence we will have to provide). Worse, I see it as a very tempting target to those civs in Abanana Minor (Iroques, Babs, Romans & Russians) because of its isolation and the lack of defence.
So, if we give it away (I do not see anybody with large funds available to pay for it), who to and why? If we can get the persians or germans at the table, we may give it to them for peace. What is the skin off of our b@lls. If we give it to somebody local (down in Abanana Minor), we make them stronger. The babs have already culture swiped one russion city. But they are the weakest production wise. The russions look to be in the long run (if they get their act together) the biggest deterant to the romans, who look to dominate the area.
If we give it to England or Aztec, would the Greeks care? I don't think so, but better safe than sorry. Same goes vice virsa. Would they care if we gave it to the greeks.
I suspect that whoever gets it, will soon lose it to the french culturally.
So, what do you all think. Is this city worth the danger it presents? And if not, who do we give/sell it to? And why?
