    Until you get marines or beserkers (real name) you can't take them.

    Make peace or the war weariness may get to you.

      Demand it as part of a peace treaty.

          That's a useful strat with all sorts of far flung cities, it's easier than sending transports all over the globe. Just demand them in peace, secure them, then go to war again.

            Couldn't you set bombard to kill and capture them that way?

              Patience...

              Either

              1. wait for workers/units to move in next turn, or

              2. wait for nukes and elim annoying workers/units, or

              3. build marines, or

              4. live with it and focus on other areas, like bribing another civ to attack the island city.

                But even if the city is empty you won't be able to capture it. No other units are allowed to go from the sea into an enemy city.

                  Carver,

                  True for one tile cities. Mazzz didn't say how many tiles these cities had. I was thinking 2..4 tiles.

                  If they are 1 tile cities, who cares. There are hundreds of other tiles to use to win the game. A 1 tile city will never have enough of anything to do more than take up colors on a world map.

                      Maybe you should build some money-making improvements? Like banks, marketplaces and courthouses. All those units cost money, spend some units on conquest. Remember that you don't need a large garrison in all cities, only in those who need it. Usually I have only 1 unit in most of my cities, cities of special importance(capitol, cities with wonders) have more. Border cities also have a stronger garrison than the rest. The rest of my army are divided between the front line and a reserve in case of invasions.

                          I presume that by meditration sea you mean the mediterranean sea?

                          If you are on radio andno-one else has gunpowder then I suggest that you start again but this time don't set the difficulty to the easiest level...
                          Do not be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed...

                            Hmm I guess to nuke or not to nuke isn't an option then
                            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.

                              Just roll over them, he has too many units and a large tech-lead. How difficult can it be?
