I figure a mechanic to allow for pillaging abandoned cities - of which we may soon see many littering the banks of the Nile - could be quite fun if the right mechanic was implemented.
I was thinking along the lines of say, 5 unique players can send an army of a minimum size (so that they brandish an appropriate number of flaming torches) to a city when it's been abandoned, and they each have a chance to recover materials left behind, either in the warehouses or by tearing down the Palace walls. Then this could have some kind of cool-down period to prevent one person getting lucky at the time when the mods start burninating (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7gz1DIIxmEE) the villages.
In any case, it would be nice for these plots to leave something behind for a short period of time.
