Is this gamey?

i did this but i find it useless since the cities beyond are still popping out units even if u cripple their nearby cities by sacking them. Because EB script gives AI bonus money if they reach a low amount so they can still make more money even if u sack half their cities.

True, but it seems the idea is to take out all bordering settlements, then ask for peace. One problem, as mentioned: One or all settlements joins your enemy.
If they don't, they'll be more conserned with the eleutheroi for abit.
