Can a new race's first conquest target a border region another player already occupies?

The designer answered this in a 2010 forum thread, and it matches the rulebook's border rule.

Yes, if that region is a border region. Each enemy token there adds one token to the price, so it costs more than an empty border region. A region that is not on the border is never a legal first conquest, even if it is occupied.
