Citadel Spam? if your a Swed you could gift it to CS then get a ton of Influence.At least in civ 4 you could do stuff with them in civ 5 it really doesn't seem like you can do much with great generals unless I'm missing something
warmongering menace to the worldCarthage once stole my land with a great general.
In the next few turns, Carthage became non existent
Great generals ain't that bad. Think about great admirals...
In the beginning it's easy to get GGs, but slows down as each extra one takes more combat xp. I find them invaluable and save most for the late game. I may use one, maybe two max, to claim a key border tile to get to an oil or aluminum resource.
With my standard map, emperor, domination style play I usually generate about 7-8 GGs from combat through the game.
What I find really invaluable is to save GGs to reach the way out of reach uranium. With 3 GGs I can stretch to reach practically any uranium and there's usually 2-3 uranium in weird places I end up using my horde of GGs to claim that otherwise I'd have to skip or plant a crappy city to obtain.
I never knew making a citadel next to a resource automatically makes it your. Wow.
I'm fairly sure that planting a citadel on a resource only gives it to you instantly if it's a strategic resource. If it's a Callender resource you'll have to build a plantation, still getting an instant coal, oil or uranium mine is useful especially if it's under a jungle or marsh.
