TSG17 After Action Report

[Tabarnak]

Are you saying that if you can sell a city close to another capital(eventually or already captured), you can get a lot more money from that capital? Only because it's adjacent? Pretty neat strategy! 100 gpt is a lot!

Well, this was a standard pangea keshik konquest.

For the non-pangea part, here are some tricks I used:
- Hagai Sofia scientist bulbs astronomy.
- Fleet of captured workers explores the sea.
- Capture the smallest city as a beachhead, so there are less turns of resistance until I can annex and purchase more keshiks. (I actually sent over a settler to start purchasing faster, but all the city sites were taken.)
- Gift the smaller Russian city I captured to Askia, then sell him Moscow for 100gpt because it is a capital adjacent to his territory.

@ DaveMcW:- exceptionally clever strategy (as usual), but I still don't fully understand the consequences if this backfires and the original owner regains control of their capital (by conquest / gift). Although this seems unlikely given AI abilities, would this mean you have to recapture it (as their "original capital") in order to achieve a Domination win?
