T3 External Consulate - What to do with Over There?

[Bertie]

We are at war with the Byzantines, and the city of Over There is right on the Byzantines’ border. It has one warrior defending, and we could switch production and produce another warrior next turn. However, it’s unlikely two regular warriors could stand up to the Byzantines. I expect we’ll lose the city quite soon.

IN THIS THREAD we’re discussing the possibility of gifting Over There to the Indians. Then when we fight our second war with them, we can take all of their cities on our continent, leaving them, well, over there. Another possibility is to gift the city to either France or Spain (or another civ), hoping to increase the likelihood of their becoming more embroiled in wars with the Byzantines & Mayans.

Thoughts? I’ll post a poll on this tomorrow.

Edit: Poll is up HERE .

i dont think we should gift it to the indians(mainly because i think we should go to war and whipe out the indias anyway) give it to spain to get them in the war with byzantines(i never liked the french anyway lol)

Gifting it to anyone may get them new contacts. We can also abandon it...

Give that city to someone elts for a free tech or two.

News flash: you can't get anything for a city. The only thing we can do is gift it straight up.
