I learned something new about CIV4 today

What I learned that was wild is that you can assign away an enemy's CAPITAL CITY with the Apostolic Palace if you have enough culture pressure on it. Here's a screen shot from my 1000AD scenario AAR:

Of course you have.
Remember that AI Survivor game which led to the AP being credited a kill?

Do you mean settling two tiles away? Works on a different landmass as you just discovered.

Fun fact, I actually mentioned as much in NC 390 recently

I will say that settling 1SW isn't going to block settling that island, if it is indeed an island - the "cities cannot be settled within two tiles of each other" rule only applies to cities on the same landmass.

Personally learned it first from a Lain video.

I'm not sure. Can you tell me the season and the game? I'd love to see that!

Season 4, Playoff 2.

(iirc, it was also the game which Shaka won, only for Sullla to cheat him of his victory ? )
