Building PO's costs stuff, taking capitals earns stuff. You make the choice.

Expansion Penalty - Why?
Personally, I do not get why expansion would have a negative affect on a nation's morale. I would think that if a nation is expanding and conquering new lands, the people would be happy?

Hmm you guys have a point but the effect is temporary isn't it? You always need to have a constant supply of capitals to conquer, whilst POs are set.

It depends on your style of play. Personally I usually take out an AI or two on days one and two for the morale boost taking a capital gives. That improves resource production to give you a head start. Then I leave them alone after that and focus on active players. Usually declaring war on a small AI in the mid game isn’t worth the popularity hit you’ll take. Then if you have a few small AIs left on your boarders you can go after one with a very small force in the late game to ensure you take a capital before day change._Pyth0n_ wrote:

Heh, I don't agree with that part... as said above, you need to have a constant supply. You can't rely on actives, especially not about taking them just before DC. The reputation thing may be bad (in the end game I often find myself hated so much that any AI who shares a border fraction somewhere declares on me within a few hours), but really, the AI's are horrible at tactics and having like six wars with them really isn't much of a problem.6thDragon wrote:

It's situational, but yes, constant supply of capitals and steady growth is best. I often find myself with strategically located small AIs who gave ROW; it's often worth preserving for an element of surprise.K.Rokossovski wrote:
