In my last game, my (always friendly, frequently Allied) neighbor Spain put a random Archer on my Hermitage. No big deal with open borders... until I got a great artist, and I could not move him to that square. He never moved it. It was deep in my territory. A random Spanish builder joined it for a bit and wandered off.
I let the alliance lapse, and the "open borders" disappeared from the status screen, and wasn't available in the diplomacy menu. But the archer never moved.
Was this a tactic or an error? I could have possibly purchased the square with the archer in it, but I don't remember and don't know. A clever tactic if it was one.
Could I resolve this short of declaring war and destroying the archer? I rarely seem to get friendly relations, but I benefited from getting them in on a joint war early to avoid the huge warmongering penalties for clearing out the Americans. (For what it is worth, I was playing Germany.)
