the regardless of population thing would be a massive exploit potential, with people building cities for other people or their alts.

nobody is going to turn over a 10k+ city to just anyone, but if they did how is that any different than giving an account away to someone

Oops, thanks, I didn't get that idea. Sounds fine for me, the "abandoned" town could behave like towns of suspended players, everything on auto-pilot. It could also allow us to capture more towns.
Sigurd could nominally own these abandoned towns -- I sometimes want to kick  of [DEVS].

Or how about this, if a town becomes abandoned, it becomes part of a faction? Perhaps the closest by distance? and that town could build itself over time, and act as if it's in that faction?
This IMO would give the aggressive players a run for their money...

Works for me, we already know that factions will "soon" (as of 2010-08) recall who attacked them, and fight back, or remove trading favours from their enemies.

Perhaps a new thread in Suggestions regarding abandoning towns would be a good idea? Just a thought lol.

I am not sure I agree with an abandoned city being capturable without lowering its population first. It does sound like an exploit for meta-gamers. However, I haven't heard hardly any negative feedback to this proposed game enhancement.

Being able to abandon a town in a condition that leaves it unowned sounds pretty good to me.
A potential issue I could see with this would be people "seeding" the map with such towns in order to prevent others from Tenariling or Exodusing to a location. Sure, the towns could be sieged down, but that is time-consuming.
Such cities could also be placed around a city as a second "wall" to prevent sieges. I am reminded of StJude's gambit of using an alt to Tenaril a city next to his own on a two-square island.
Perhaps if the population of the town were over 0, it would have to be in the location for at least 5 days prior to being abandoned?

Now that idea I like too. It would fall in line with not being able to send out an army ir diplomatic force 5 days after exodus'ing a town.
Clever thinking little crow. :)

Rill, get your facts straight, Jude and Borg did the 2 tile isle together and they used exodus to do it,
it was a brilliant idea, i know because it was mine
