From the rules, it looks like players may voluntarily remove their own cities to place them elsewhere. And each time a city is placed, it may trigger a special ability in a region of Sumer. My question is this: Could a player build a city with one action, trigger the region's ability (which happens when a city is built), and then on his next turn voluntarily remove the city and rebuild it in the same spot, again triggering the region's ability. From the rules, this appears to be perfectly legal ... but it seems a bit odd ...

The rules says, page 5, Action - Built City: "If all of your city base pieces are already on the board then you can voluntarily remove one city base piece, along with any city expansion marker on it. You must then place this city base piece in a different area. The city expansion marker is not placed, this remains in your possession." [My emphasis]

I missed that clarification ... thank you!

I guess a variation of what I was asking about is still possible. If all four of your cities are on the board and your opponents don't shut down the move with workers, warriors or their own cities, you could bounce a city between two eligible spots multiple times. Seems unlikely this would happen in practice, but it seemed an interesting possibility as I read through the rules ...

Yup, you're right. But remember that cities on only go Sumer regions, and workers only go in non-Sumer regions (or in worker boxes). So other cities or armies will be a problem, but workers won't. ;-)
