Game Rules Guide

A Tatar-owned capital does not enter the raze-to-wilderness lifecycle. For another capital that holds no artefact, if an ordinary village survives, the highest-population non-oasis village becomes the fallback, an owner Hero stationed in the old capital relocates there, the highest-population ordinary village becomes the new capital, and the destroyed tile returns to wilderness. A special fallback stays special. If no ordinary village survives—even when a special village does—the destroyed capital remains owned at level 0 and no special village becomes capital.
