How to stop your Allied CS being taken by your friends

Sure I cannot attack Tomyris if she attacks Hattusa as we are friends... but she cannot attack me either

The backdraw of this "strategy" is needing up to 8 troops per city state. And let's not kid ourselves, you would rather use that army to conquer your neighbor.
I am hoping for a mechanism to avoid these situations in an addon. Maybe together with a mechanism that would enable you to free city states without getting ousted as suzerain the next turn.

Not at all, things are more complex than that.
For a start she does not have a lot of doorways in tu Hattusa and 2 troops are fine.
I play continents only and in these situations my army is neither far away nor will I be upset if she is the one that declares. The key thing is my troops stop her taking it quickly so I can respond... also look at Hattusa's walls... not easy.
So many things are situational and one of the glories of continents is once conquered they are safer than pangea.

Also lets be frank Hattusa is a little bit more important than Kandy, once you have 6 envoys there its worth surrounding if need be but of course its always worth being aware hat peace is but 30 turns at most. In the above game as it happens I declared on her eventually and she had to withdraw.... I just did not want my envoys killed, science CS are just too valuable.

Quick answer: battleships.

Less quick: cs's are more valuable and loyal than my 'friends.' If you dow my cs, we shan't remain friends long.

If you dow my cs twice? Better practice squeezing those cheeks tight.
