that's the tricky thing! question is: maybe you can gain much more in a bit longer perspective when the city grows... anyway it works when barbs attack you quickly. Definitely it is not good deal to lose mature city

ratio ). Check vale's that's an interesting strategy. I usually skip nationhood trusting in production power of my cities, but in harsh times when you're surrounded by lots of enemies (especialy by mutiplayer warmongers
) it may be extremely useful. Especially when you're weak an lonely, nasty warmongers count on an easy prey and then you revererse the odds by multipying your power. What a unpleasent surprise!

This one does not always work but it seems to have a high % based on my games. If you find stone in your backyard give it free to your nearest neighbor (esp an industrious one) then watch them build a big pyramid - as you build axemen. Attend the after party for the pyramids with your axemen and welcome the new city to your nation.
