Last night I won an immortal Zulu domination. However, the game took longer than I thought. I had captured 3 enemy capitals with the remaining 2 being controlled by the Iroquois. While I was busy gaining control of 3 opponents capitals and lands, Hiawatha had taken control of the other 3rd of the continant and after a long war with Montezuma, he controlled the Aztec capital. Hiawatha's capital was within 3 cities of the Egyptian capital I had just taken. So my plan was to cut a path right to his capital and take it to win a domination game. After a brutal struggle and high casualty rate, with the help of 6 citadels I successfully destroyed Hiawatha's technological superior forces (he had great war bomers and great war infantry while I had rifles and artillery) and took his capital.
I was breaking out the champagne as my rifleman walked through the gates of his capital in preperation for my hard won victory, but as I took the city NO DOMINATION VICTORY prompt came up! WHAT??? I was the only one still in control of my original capital so why did I not win? Sure the Iroquois had the Aztec capital but from what the civlopidea says the game should be over. So the continued as I then had to slug my way up to the Aztec capital and take it which was not easy because while I was still using rifles, cavalry and artillery, Hiawatha was rolling out Bombers, Rocket Artillery, Machine guns and great war infantry. My swarms of troops and logistic plus range promoted artillery got the job done and I concoured the Aztec capital from Hiawatha and then the game said I won.
So why didn't I win when I was the only player in control of their original capital?
