How does one delete cities? Build settlers over and over and over until 
the population goes down to zero?

If you mean arbitrarily delete them in a fashion that human players 
cannot, I say no way, the AI does enough cheating already.

How about simply behaving in the same way as a human player who 
disconnects and never reconnects? Just sit idle. Is that what human 
players tend to do?

I hope with respect to the giving away of cities and the making of 
alliances tyou are not suggesting that it not go through the usual 
formailities of having an embassy in order to accomplish such things, like 
a human player would have to?
