"X has not built a capital" after CS capture - needed for domV?

[vanatteveldt]

In the DCL31 game, a city state captured the capital of one of the civs. I would normally assume that I would have to re-capture it to get my domV, but interestingly the victory progress screen lists it as "has not build a capital city". Do I still need to capture it to get a domination victory?

Short answer no. It would seems that the devs didn't want to make you DOW a CS to pursue a DomV(which imo is a good idea).

Cool... my force was actually already under way, but it's good to know - that leaves only one enemy to go (with two caps, unfortunately...)

That's dumb of the devs, yet again. You should at least have to take their 2nd city if you're not going to have to DoW the CS.

Well, in my case they are wiped out, so that wouldn't be an option either.

(how sad is it to get wiped out by a CS? :] )

Anyway, I just got dogpiled on by the runaway and my direct neighbour (should have finished her off when I had the chance...), so we'll see how that ends...
