In a game 1-2 weeks ago I saw this more aggressive habit, and I thought this
not being too bad. But I also saw that good defended cities do this until
they are *empty*. The city should keep at least some good defending units.

Even if attacking gives a better chance to win, this is not necessarily a
better chance to survive: to overcome a defender you need two moves, one to
destroy it, and another to enter the city.
