You really shouldn't gift away cities to third parties. It's been done in the past, and people absolutely hate it when you do that.

[Catwalk]

Was about to chip in with the same thing. This is sometimes even banned outright under the umbrella paragraph of "No cheesy city gifting". If you can't defend those cities, they rightfully belong to whoever can capture them. Player etiquette when in a losing position is to keep fighting until the end, in order to not unbalance the game for the other players. Make it as expensive for slowcheetah as possible to invade you, or sue for peace.

well sian and brick already demanded cities in return for not taking any others or not getting involved in the carve up. i cant build troops fast enough even with draft and whip to force slowcheetah to have heavy losses. he rolled over the 3 cities he did take with about 1 or 2 losses over all

it gives azza a leg up too

of course they dont have to accept haha

[TheMusicMan]

down to 2 cities

gifted azza a couple of workers and other units and evacuated gonzalez to make a last stand at bramble

[TheMusicMan]

the long withdrawal march continues

might smash some mines and cottages that gonzalez isn't working out of spite haha

[TheMusicMan]

the last stand. surprised its taken this long

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Don't build trebuchets in your last city, they're anti-city units, not anti-stack.
