  • Refusing a flipped city

    Has anyone had an opponents city flip and refuse it.

    What happens and does the AI ever refuse to accept your city
    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

    That is never an option for me, so I don't know...

      Someone else posted about this happening to them in another thread. That was the only time I've ever heard of it happening.

        It does not look like accepting/refusing flip affect anything. Although some people claimed that attitude of civilization from which city is defected drops. Have not noticed that.
        AI might refuse the flip. I never saw it myself, but somebody posted screenshot of such situation long time ago: advisor came to say that city <...> attempted to defect, but <...> refused to accept them.

          On deity I've seen the AI refuse my worthless, size 1 cities in the middle of nowhere rather consistently.

            I've refused a city before, can't remember the circumstances though. Af far as I can tell, it doesn't make any difference in the later calculations for a city wanting to flip. A number of turns later, the city wanted to flip again!

              AI's refusing to accept city might have something to do with their OCN.

                I think right after Civ3 came out and I bought it, IIRC a civ was very upset that I took their city. I can hardly remember the exact details tho... maybe a patch changed how the AI react.

                  I have seen this in a game where france was particularly dominant, a size 6 city belonging to me next to a 12 city belonging to france flipped but was refused.

                  It did this twice before i manged to get a university and cathedral in there.

                  I Never refuse cities when the AI flips to me even cities out in the back of beyond.

                      Accept it and then abandon it
                      I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                        maybe it depends of how their attitude is towards you, when there gracious the might be less willing to accept your city. maybe they didnt want the city because when they do thecity uses good tiles from their good cities (not that the A.I excells in micro-management).

                          Better system by far than Civ I, when a city would admire your prosperity, immediately flip without so much as a by-your-leave, and cause your democracy to crash cuz they were so p.o'd to BEGIN with!

                          One OS to find them,
                          One OS to bring them all
                          and in the darkness bind them.

                            hi ,

                            depending on its size and a whole bunch of other things you can keep it , but the best is to refuse it , it shall improve your relations with that civ and your reputation , and on top when one of your cities wants to turn you have a good chance that they shall refuse it , .......

                            have a nice day

                              panag - do you have any info or a link showing that refusal really does improve relations? I never heard of that before.
