I sustain Keir on this, long ago i made the same remarks....
it is far more secure to leave all units outside a city than inside.

Another point i would like to bring again to discussion:

in one of my last plays, i noticed again that in some cases cities were
completely destroyed on capture... wouldn't it be more nice to have the cities
downsized from city to town, village etc on beign damaged? (in the same manner
villages that are on high traffic lines in peace time become towns then cities
;)

Then another point that was really irritating:
i just was about to crush a computer opponent, deployed savantly (hopefully) my
units, but that bastard surrendered, and all cities were gone just under  my
nose...... which gave my human opponent exactly the time to crush me :(

is there a parameter to stop cities vanish? same thing i thought have seen in
the documentation a chance that the other sides units could be reverted and
join the winner?
