I am sorry if I did not make myself clear.
The function works as follows:
1. It finds the distances from the city to surrounding tiles by land and
by sea.
2. It looks for the enemy units within certain distance and estimates how
much they endanger the city.

So in general you have one city and many enemies around.

Are you actually proposing to generate a separate warmap for every unit
that is near the city?  I do not think it is very clever.
