I believe that you can give it the submarine flag and it won't be carried.

Neither transport nor carrier can carry Domain 3 units. Do they count as non-Sea?

Here's a good one:

Suggest a process to create a city on an ocean square.

Can this city be taken over, and if so, how?

BINGO!

(by the way they are quasi-air units not quasi-sea units)

Ah the invisible invincible pirate island technique.. good one. I would like to hear the answer for part II myself.

1. Well the easiest way to create the island city is this: create a grassland square where you want your city, found that city, and create a settler or engineer unit. Save the game, adjust the below line in the rules.txt, and re-load the saved game

Grassland, 1,2, 2,1,0, Oce, 0, 1, 0, For, 0,10, 0, Hil, ; Grs

This now says that Grassland can be irrigated to ocean in one turn. So order the settler to irrigate the city square. The grassland immediately changes to ocean.

2. The answer is yes it can: helicopters work. I'd assume bribing would work (I hoped someone would have experimented to test this).

Hmmm...must think of new brain teaser.

Now that Andrew has put the answer down, I can add my 2 cents worth.

This is also known as the sleeping beauty city since all land units will repeatedly fall asleep in the city every turn. Hvae a look at this memorable thread for more details

If marines attack a city from the sea, do city walls have any effect?

 

[Boco]

Yep (learned that in a game the hard way)
