#3067 Error claiming land of captured colony

[David Lewis]

After defeating and capturing a European colony, I am unable to move a unit from within the colony screen to a land area not already being used. For example, moving a unit to farm a tile results in an error because European will not "sell" tile.

This happened because of a neighboring european colony having claimed the space, even though no colonists were working in that particular tile.

AFAICT this is working as intended. You only defeated the first colony --- Europeans do not give up land easily! The second colony preemptively grabbed it as soon as they could. The natives do the same thing, albeit with less determination.

No further development here, closing.
