I tried moving a base by continuously building colony pods until there were no people left. This worked in Civ2, but not in this game. How can you move a base without killing everyone in the base.

Im not apart of the Firaxis staff but i can answer your question
In the higher levels (librarian and above i think) you can "unpopulate" a base by makeing lots of colony pods to bring the pop down to 0.

Actually, It's any difficulty above Citizen.

If you remember (do I?), in CivII too you weren't allowd to disband a city if playing chieftain (did someone ever? I did sometimes to relax plaing like god, one-handed eyes shut).

Any game of this type should have a Disband City option (CTP will), it would really speed up the end game. I am playing on a 160x160 grid and conquering approx 2-3 bases each turn, so each turn just keeps getting longer. It takes about 15-20 minutes/turn. I'm hoping to reach Transcendance soon so I don't have to continue endlessly.

You can actually disband a base. Just press "b" when in a city with a military unit. However, this counts as an atrocity.
I haven't tried it yet, though.

Just enable the govener and you wont have to worry more about that city

It's quite fun. I got a message saying "Base destroyed. 90,000 Believers killed."
Y'all should try it some time.
