I enjoy reading your speculations, so have no intentions of bursting any bubbles.
@Spaniard - it is an interesting idea, especially if it could be coupled with the unique city models. The city itself could be given a model of a mountain and made inaccessible. There are problems though, such as what would happen if they bribed other settlements, the limits of trade income, and lack of ability to trade via the sea (unless a port was added in some subtle way). Of course the AI would probably never be able to cope with this, and when you compare the amount of work needed to implement it versus the added gameplay it becomes less attractive, but is still a great idea.
