lol, had to buy about 5 tiles before he DoW'd me. Ironic, you can demand that Venice not settle cities near you
The moment he DoW'd me I cleaned him and his CS puppet off the map. Funny thing is that half the civs didn't care at all that I wiped him out.

I don't see why that is so awful.
Huh ? There is zero lux, its not on a hill and not on a mountain, and just 3-4 tiles to the west you can put a coastal city on a hill, next to mountain with Wales bonus ...

I find it funny to capture Venice but leave him with his puppet cities that he can't annex.
In BNW, civs can annex puppet cities and they do it often.

Regarding city settling, I'm pretty sure taking city-states via MoV is interpreted as settling a city when you do it, so I suspect that's what the demand would be for (don't steal a CS near me).
With the original screenshot: When I saw that my first thought was that, if I were Venice, that would be a great free city for me. However, since the human player settled it, the free city was Venice for Germany.

I can nearly guarantee that if you fast forward to modern era, you will find either aluminum, coal or uranium within Nottingham's territory. The AI seems to know where these resources will appear and will settle in these apparently silly locations to get them before they are on the map. The fact it's right by a CS almost makes it a forgone conclusion that there will be resources there. That's why I like settling near a CS... the likelihood of getting aluminum, coal, oil or uranium drastically increases compared to a random spot on the map.
Did you have bronze working researched? They will drop cities near iron, which you won't see unless you have the tech researched.
