I think that there should be a 25% chance that instead of turning into barb cities inactive cities turn into outposts (a place you could garrison and controll troops from). An outpost would be basically a miniaturised city (one building that acted as a city hall, reasorce producer, warehouse, and wall all in wall, you would just go to the outpost and upgrade it like a normal city). You could controll these outposts by taking over them with the brute force of killing all the enemies inside, the garrisoning it with your own troops. Each outpost could contain up to a certain number of troops (say it could support up to a population of 5000 troops. These troops would still count as their city of origins population too). outpost would not be able to contain scholars, only infantry, stable, and workshop units. Lastly outposts could be scouted like a city.
