I think the 10 square rule is a little silly, the biggest problem with zerg attacks is a surprise siege. Which a 10 square radius does little to help. Yet a 30 day waiting period for siege would.

It'd be very difficult to maintain a sov at level V at any distance for 30 days, so that would prevent abuse.

^^ this. This is a good idea. 
Not sure we'd even need the 30-day rule, as getting Sov 5 has to a) be nearby and b) takes quite some time already.
Will think on it further, but I do like this.

I agree with everything you've all said.
10 square restriction is just too much for people in crowded areas... or even in not so crowded areas it is usually a problem.

Also rather than organising confeds for a few days, could a system whereby a message can be sent to the nearby players saying "player A wants to move a city X squares from you" be implemented instead. Also perhaps rather than a 5 day waiting period for military actions instead change it to disabling siege camps from that city for a month. Then surprise attacks are pretty much impossible, unless the target is completely oblivious to their surroundings and arguably should get surprised. |

Zerg attacks Kilotov with his level 12 city on his doorstep! The rest of my alliance surround Kilotov each one with single unt type hoards; close enough that each one can nearly instantly back up any other city - the megablock attacks!
After the flames rise on the smokey ruins the hunting zerg megablock moves on to its next target...

Except that you have to wait 5 days before sending any diplo or military units from a town that has just finished moving... of course if you build up 5-6 towns meant only for moving and 'zerging' you can time them to all land at the same time, then all launch attacks against a town, but this would be extremely expensive and not a very effective way of swarming someone. I'm sure someone will try it out though...

Which of course is perfectly realistic as shown below:
