Do it your own way - the anti-guide

Here's a trick to add to the anti-guide here. 
Vets leave sometimes. Lots of us mourn their passing. Many others ravage the cities to get all the resources, population, and research that is available.

Once a players last city is taken, they get a new city, at 0 pop, randomly placed in the newbie circle. That city has no buildings and no resources, but it has all the research that was in their last city to fall - and can be quickly taken by a cavalry siege. It doesn't give all the bonuses of sieging an existing city, but its FAR better than sending a settler.

And when you take THAT city? Another one with all the same research spawns. Enjoy!

(Please note, I haven't done this in more than a year, so if something changed, I apologize for raising your hopes)

EDIT:  THE ABOVE TRICK HAS SINCE BEEN FIXED AND NO LONGER WORKS

	I'm afraid they might have fixed it in response to this thread. Thanks for the reminder, I'll edit it out.
