Long story short, Bismarck took offense to my forward settled city and DoW'd me. I was prepared with comp bows and swordsmen, and he lost probably 30 units to my 4, barely scratching my city. I've plundered trade routes, pillaged every resource I can, and killed probably another 5 units after his initial 30 or so from the failed siege. He will not give up his closest city to me. It's got a major monger penalty for capture, so I don't want to go do that now (only medieval era, I don't want everyone hating me before we all get fancy schmancy units and all) so I'm stuck. I want his city pretty badly, as it was where I initially wanted to settle the city he was trying to capture, and he's been beaten to a pulp. Every turn he offers peace, open borders, his horses and his only remaining lux that wasn't pillaged, but won't relinquish the city even when I offer him a lux he doesn't have, and iron. Do I need to siege the city? Siege his cap? Or is it not going to happen and I need to make peace or take it by force?
