Chose to play as Count of Jamtland for fun, with the objective of eventual hegemony over Scandinavia.
The details of my rise to power are fun, but not the point. What is the point is that for better levies and taxes I soon moved my capital to Saaremaa (in Livonia) and took Duchy of Finland as primary title. I'm wrapping up a successful defense against the pagan King of Sweden and discovered some bugs seemingly related to my capital switch.
1. Swedish invasion armies seem to think my capital is Jamtland. They occupied only counties in the immediate vicinity and completely ignored all holdings outside of de jure Sweden. This is bad for them as my capital and majority holdings are in Livonia and Finland. Sweden's army gravitated toward Jamtland and returned there after every fight as though it were somehow valuable, but it is neither my capital nor the wargoal.
2. HRE response armies also seem to think my capital is Jamtland. The two armies met there and Sweden got spanked, but then rather than increasing wargoal by occupying Sweden or defending Swedish lands I previously occupied - or even hunting mobile armies - HRE stack gravitates toward Jamtland and returns there to stay. HRE armies march through Sweden to get to Jamtland and are starving in large numbers due to support issues there.
This prevents me and the HRE from just winning the war and moving on. (Because who settles for white peace when they have a hook on the Kaiser?) I wonder, if someone attacks me elsewhere and I ask for HRE support, will they let my actual capital fall while they stand on a patch of permafrost?
3. Saaremaa is not providing correct levies. I have good relations with vassals, each of whom I seated personally (better still when the war started). There are no negative tax/levy modifiers active. The county screen shows large green bars for available troops, and the military screen shows available to raise. However, despite repeated attempts to disband all troops and raise a larger army, I only get men from the county castle, none from the city or church. County screen show untapped green bars and military tab shows "unraised" totals.
This represents 1/3 to 1/2 my total army size. If HRE armies moved, we could take holdings. If I had access to full levies, we could take holdings. Instead, I either have to take white peace or wait out "controls [wargoal]" to increase for the next few years?
