   Yes, this is ok for democracy or republic, but not for comunism, 
monarchy or despotism. If you leave alone a city of size +6 there will 
be some elvies that  do not work tiles, and this meants that the 
production of shields or trade will fall down a lot, and a city that 
could be giving 10 or 12 shields, will give 2 or 3, if the AI can keep 
it from revolt.

   What i want to do is exactly this, taking those units from that 
enormous stacks of units and sending them to defend the cities. Just 
because when they attack the most likely thing is that they will lose, 
and all the stack will be killed. What do a lot of units stacked in 
owned territory instead of defending border cities of our civilitazion?
