There is a civ4 mod for razing cities but i don't think you get to sell
it off; probably too prone to exploit. It slowly decreases the
population rather than trashing it in 1 turn. I'd like it if it spawned
workers/settlers as it shrunk with nationality dependent on the cultural
influence/s.

Sometimes my scout will find a settler and the site looks promising but
then turns out to be disasterous and it would be nice to evacuate your
population before it is conquered by an enemy, squashed by barbarians or
eaten by a dragon!
