[Bug][0.98] Contiguous Territory Penalty & Captured Capitals

from Elemental Forums


When you capture an enemy city that was their capital city, it still counts as being a capital for purposes of the contiguous territory and unrest. In the game I just started, I captured Magnar's capital of Imperium, and it has no unrest penalty for non-contiguous territory, though it is not connected to my own capital. I can only assume this is because it was a capital city at one point.

Magnar's only remaining city is now a capital as well, as it does not have any Contiguous Territory unrest issues.

This should be fairly easy to reproduce in-house, but I'll hold on to a save game just in case.

did you pass the turn and it still doesn't show as not being contiguous?  I tried to reproduce in house and when you first take the city it says there i no penalty but when you click next turn it has the penalty (properly)

And we still need to know which cities are capital cities...

Yes, several turns later I have taken another city from Magnar that is contiguous with his old Imperium capital. Neither Imperium nor the contiguous city have the connection unrest penalty, nor does my original capital.

Ok, after quitting and restarting the game, the non contiguous penalties are applying correctly now.

if it happens again try to record all the steps you took to take the city and the state of the city when you took it so we can try to figure out what causes the bugged case.  Things like what units you used to take the city, auto resolve or not, what level/type of city it is, if he has another city at the time ect ect

I think I still have a save game from right around the time I took it. I did use autoresolve to take the city, and took it with only my Sov. When I get a moment here, I'll load up the save game and see if I can reproduce it at all. If I can, I'll send the save game your way.

I still don't like the capital city idea though O_o wish it was tied to tower of dominion or something...
Or if I could relocate my capital.
