I would consider La Paz, Bolivia a city built on a mountain hex. Population 713,000 (1997) metro 1.2 million, elevation 3630 meters (11,910 feet). Administrative capital and largest city in that country.
The city itself is actually in a valley, with a nearby plateau another 1400 feet up and nearby peaks extending over 20,000 feet. A third of the area of the country is above 10,000 ft. Over half of Bolivia's population lives at those heights. If you're looking for a nearby special square, add Lake Titicaca at 12,500 ft.
In short, if I was designing a historic scenario, both La Paz and it's Incan predecessor Tiahuanaco would be in a mountain hex. No second choice comes close.

I still don't know why you're talking about hexes although the game deals with squares...

I do not think that "snide" is in the same class of descriptive words that "nazi" and "*****" are.

I believe that somewhere in the last four pages of gratuitous silliness it was mentioned that a hex, (even a square one) takes up several miles, maybe even several hundred miles.
A mountain city, therefore need not be protrayed as teetering precariously on the pinnacle, but more likely in a valley.
The valley, as in the city of Kelowna, British Columbia, is high abouve sea level, definitely on a mountain hex. And worse, it has a river running through it.
All you mathematical warmakers, give me the figures, and I'll send a note to the mayor of Kelowna letting him know what his odds are with pikemen against Armour.
Unfortunately, Kelowna doesn't have walls. On the other hand, it's a Democracy, so you can't incite revolt there.
