How many defenders do you put in cities?

I recently had good luck signing an ROP to allow my troops to land uncontested on the other continent. My lands were bigger so I didnt have to pay anything and the chance of the other guy crossing over was minimal. A few turns later, when all my army was across, I attacked and took away his core. Ain't I a stinker?

Yeah that smells.

2 Defenders in each city, sometimes 4 units and a jet fighter (protect againist bombing raids)

I usually leave at least one spearman or two + a warrior/archer, offensive unit in my cities for the first part of the game. Then, as I expand I move more of my units to the borders although in my last few games I havn't had any cities that weren't on the coast/not on my borders. no good spotsin the middle there.
