The Capital tile doesn't count adjacent greenery tiles as VPs(Case closed)
I played several local games and found that the Capital city tile doesn't count adjacent greenery tiles as VPs. For example, I had 3 normal city tiles with total 12 greenery tiles nearby, and the Capital city tile with 2 greenery tiles and 1 ocean tile. Therefore, the total city score should be 15(normal city:12+Cap.city:3). However, the scoreboard says that my city score is 13. I checked multiple times on several games.

Case closed. The ocean tiles nearby the Capital are counted as VP, not the city score.

I might be wrong but I think the capital tile is not supposed to count greeneries as VP. As I remember it, it counts adjacent oceans as VP. Can someone confirm ?

It should be since it still a city.

The ocean VP isn’t a city VP it’s counted under card VPs.

It should count you as 14 city points, not 15, and not 13. The ocean is counted as card VP, as someone mentioned. That leaves you with 14 adjacent greeneries, so there's no reason it should score you with 13. Is it possible you miscounted? I always get greenery points for the capital.

You're right. I checked the screenshot in the end of the game, and I had 3 normal city tiles with total 11 greenery tiles nearby, and the Capital city tile with 2 greenery tiles and 1 ocean tile.

I just had a game vs AI, where the purple AI build only 1 city - the capital city. It was surrounded by 3 greeneries (and 3 oceans) and at the end of the game the AI received 3 points from greeneries.

I think there is no bug.
