I had one of that happen to one of my beloved generals aswell. He took Athens, and held it for one turn. He had ran from the Carthaginian navy and landed in Greece, and took the Oracle at Delphi. He destroyed it as in an intent to provoke all the Greeks to try and attack him. Shortly after that he moved onto Athens, took it, and for one turn did nothing. The very next turn he destroyed the Akropolis, and the very next turn, he came down with plague. The turn after that, death set in. One of my best rtw moments, I call it the curse of Zues.
