So I'm playing king on pangea plus. As such, I do not get optics for quite awhile, and altho my area was nice, I was pretty quickly cut off from 3/4 of the continent. By the time I get optics and start exploring via water, every C-S that i come across is owned by Austria. I ended up taking their capitol to try to protect the 4 remaining free C-S, but even then, one of then flip. Just how easy is it for Austria to buy cities and what is the defense against it? And how do you liberate them afterwards? Austria is very close to joining Polynesia on the civ scrap heap of civs that I remove from the game.
