Hello

I recognized a very strange phenomenon:

I was going to attack a foreign city which was allready opressed from another player. Then I got an info that this was not possible.

I looked around and saw that the most of cities were not reigned by their founders but by other players. So there wasnt any free city nearby my own city.

So my question is, why cant I attack foreign cities which are allready under control of a third party??

And what is the resulting strategy? Have I look for free cities?
What happens with occupied cities when I occupy the homecity of the conquerer of these cities?

Is a circle possible? A has the homecity of B, B has the City of C and C the homecity of A?

What happens with outposts and mines owend by the conquered city?

Well first, they're not cities, they are called colonies.

Second, the easy way to describe this is as follows,

If you are conquered, you cannot conquer another colony, only your conquerers colony.

If you are not conquered, you can only conquer non-conquered colonies.

The only way to conquer their colonies is if their conquer first becomes conquered, then they are freed.

When a person becomes conquered they do not loose any outposts unless they are also attacked.

A conquerer can conquer more than on colony.
