Is there anyway to pillage a city without conquoring it and making part of your empire? I just want to put them to the sword and sell them all into slavery.
Last time I tried I destroyed what I could, exterminated the populus and left. Then it revolted back to the Averni and made me at war with my only ally.
You can gift a city to another faction. After you've destroyed it, get your army out and gift it to an ally through the diplomacy scroll.

I think gifting only works if the faction has a border to the province.
To gift a city to another faction, offer them the city and a financial gift, I use 10k usually. Anything else doesn't matter. You can be at war with them for all they care.
getting a free city just isn't enough is it?
