If your merchants gets competed out by another power you get to know their capital.MrT said:I think that Johan could come up with an answer...
When you first "meet" another country (usually through trade centres) you get a message that you "discover" their capital so there must be a trigger/check that is looked at on a regular basis. If Johan would divulge what that check is and how the subsequent "discovery" is coded then you could run the same check/discovery procedure.
