I am doing an Ironman Zoroastrian playthrough and I finally had enough land to create the Persian Empire. My current capital is the duchy of Khiva. Now I getting to the point where I want to move my capital. I was thinking of moving it to Hamadan, since it appears to have very good defense and take another neighboring duchy. Or would I be better with the Esfahan, the de jure capital of the Persian Empire??
I have 2 big blobs to the west of me. That being: (1) Arabian Empire (2) Byzantine Empire, as seen below. That screenshot is 20-30 years outdated as I have grown and chipped away some of the Arabian Empire and the Byzantine Empire as grown. (I will replace this screenhot with an updated screenshot, when I get home from work.)
Screenshot updated...
In any case, can someone suggest a good, rich, defensive, high tech Duchy for my Persian Empire? I would love to have it in the mountains and have it fairly centered in the Empire for conquest and defense purposes.
Thanks in advance!!
