Proposal: Disallow building citadels (and its unique variants that grab land, such as Ordo) in tiles that have previously been acquired by any citadel (by any player).
Note: Currently citadels cannot be build next to other citadel. Thus, this proposal preserves the expected behavior of "basic" citadels, but disallows "citadel tunneling", which can be utilized with citadels claiming 2 tiles radius (Lebensraum - autocracy tenet).
Rationale: Being able to use Lebensraum to tunnel through enemy territory to enemy capital, advancing two tiles per general spent, which moreover can be done during peace treaty, is clearly an exploit in human hands (AI is not really able to do it). There is no counter to it during peace time, maybe aside from preemptive citadeling your whole territory, which is almost impossible for human and AI cannot really do it.
You would hate if someone did that to you in a MP game, wouldn't you?
Sidenote: There are lots of interesting ideas how to tweek Lebensraum in the forum: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/lebensraum-alternate-ideas-brainstorm.689140/
This proposal is not as complex, just an exploit fix.
