What is that violet-white civ on the mini map down there?

They had decided at the time that Venice couldn't live without Ragusa.
Going back to the mini-map, there's a white dot bang in the middle of Moroccan territory - the same size as a city would be. What could that be? It can't be fog of war, surely - the player is Morocco.

Great observation!!! I can't think of any explanations.
That tripped me up initially as well, but it's just the selected unit (not the one in the middle of the screen).

Yeah, you're right... :/
Of course it is! The other "it's not a city" clue is that it's apparently only two tiles from a Moroccan city.
...and a different colour from the other cities on the map.
...but if it was a city, it could have been part of the new gameplay for the "special" civ - though, of course, I'm clutching at straws here

Having a one tiled Civ stuck in the middle of Morocco doesn't exactly sound fun.
What about a mobile borderless civ? A mobile city in passing through Morocco...
It doesn't - but what if that tile belonged to another civ...especially if it had a resource...

Mobile town centers have been done in other games (Paraworld is the first that comes to mind for me, but I'm sure there are other examples), and the Lakota in Rise of Nations are essentially borderless, they can build buildings outside of their borders and city limits. I'm sure something similar would be achievable in civ, however unorthodox.

If it was a city, it could have been part of the Violet-white civ and the reporter just surrounded it with Citadels, took all the land. I've done that before, and with culture bombs in Vanilla. Good fun.
Hmmm...

Ahh, hindsight.
Now we know, looking at the map it makes sense that Venice is large and the other two cities are former city-states, especially the top right.

I'd say so, Martin.

What do you mean hindsight, we've know that it was Venice there since within a day of it being posted.
Several people were speculating about it being a one city challenge civ based on that screenshot.
