If a player's Capital City is defeated, the Capital is destroyed and that player is immediately eliminated from the game. They do not participate in endgame scoring and their total score is 0. Remove all their Units, Vessels, and Structures from the Game Board.

The player who destroys the Capital City gains 5 VP in addition to points from starting the Battle, their Tactic Card, and Combat Spell (if any).

Note: Abilities and Spells performed by enemy players cannot affect the Capital City from OUTSIDE, but during a Battle INSIDE the Capital City Region, abilities can take effect. For example, an enemy player cannot cast "Earthquake" and cause another player to lose Units from their Capital City. But, if they were in a Battle with the Capital City, they could cast "Fireball," causing a loss of Units there. Spells and Abilities, even during a Battle in the Capital City, cannot remove Serfs from the Action Bar or Building Spaces, nor can those Units be Sacrificed to pay for Tactic Cards.
