Another way to counter squalar

[Sas_Legion]

Hi all members
I have found a way to say bi bi to sqaular in a huge city without letting it to revolt . You can gift that city to your enemy then retake it in the same turn with your forces and extermnate it or enslave to boost another city with slaves ( Note : any building you have ordered to be built will removed even if it remains one turn to complete as I remember and any agents and forces will left the city ) . I am running RTW v1.0 because 1.2 is sucks . Any comments are welcome .
Ah also I want to know if that effects your standing among nations in diplomacy matters.

Hehe, everybody knows that already. This place is filled with evil bas*ards who slaughtered innocent citizens of their own factions all the time.

Thanks for sharing, after all, you have the spirit (of blood-thirstiness...)

It only boosts your standing with the enemy as they are grateful for the gift.

I usually keep an enemy diplomat hostage just to be able to do this all the time. Use of enslavement is great insta-teleport of population and can raise tech levels quickly even in frontier towns.

For example, after conquering Sicily, there is usually a Scipii/Greek/Carthaginian diplomat there. You sink any of that faction's ships that try to come near and they'll never get off the iron. Keep a diplomat there and you can have someone to gift it to any particular turn.

Another option is to harvest the plague.

When one of your cities has the plague, create some spies in the city. Now they are free to spread it to your other cities as you see fit.

Of course, this germ warfare works great on the enemy too!

Oh , I thought everybody do this idea with rebals .. let your city raiot then retake it from the rebals . So , I wanted to life easier . give it as a gift to your eneamy with no forces to him near the city and ... you know the rest .
thx Katank for answering my question . The point is how does my standing among another nations . In the past before I used this combo ( gift city to eneamy then retake ) my words were listened by all factions . Ex. I had a millatary acess with Thrace once and alliance after few turns they canceled this and parked 3 armies beside Byzentime ( I was the mighty Armenians ) . After that war is certian . So , I think every faction will consider my actions as non-honest .
Divinus Arma thx. but about the plague I don't think it isn't great because may be some family members will catche it .
thx for all replys and sorry for my bed English language .
