Cities' close territory's discovering and establishing

[Trifna]

Let's say you build a city which is 3 squares from an opponent city, without even knowing it. Would it be logical to not beeing able to use a square of field if the other civ's city didn't even explored it, even if it was on his city's territory??? I wounder how it should work...

Also, wouldn't it be logical in reality that after a year, no inhabitant explored the city's close territory? Not only official government's units are able to discover what's around.


These are two little things that I think could be considered.

Looking at this screenshot (http://www.civ3.com/images/screenshots/middleages1.jpg), I´d say that your civ´s radius of sight extends one square farther than your cultural border. So, by building temples and expanding your cities´ borders, you are, in effect, 'exploring' territory.
