changing the capital

[unmerged(47937)]

hi,

I'm playing a game as France (1944 campaign) and the germany surrenders event triggered so I got my main land back.
Now the problem is my capital city is still Brazzaville and I can't change it
Can anyone tell me how to change my capital???

thanks in advance

This is not a question about hardware or driver support, thus as per the sticky threads it does not belong in the tech support forum.
Game play questions should be asked in the main forum. I will move you there.

make yourself an event

u can find the command line for the vichy event right?

i made a thread a week ago and that's what the guy who helped me said to do

(haven't got around to it as I've put my confederate game on hold for the moment)

command = { type = capital which = 56 }

Put that line into an event. Do you know how to do that?

(I've not tried that, I'm just guessing. 56 should be Paris...)

Why make so much effort? Just edit the save eug file to make capital=56...

best suggestion here in terms of the current game.
For future games, you should really edit the German surrender event so that the capitol is moved back... if it's not actually part of the event chain to begin with. If you take a look at the Vichy events, they are actually a couple of events that occur over several days game time, because there's a problem with moving the capitol and changing ownership of a provence all in one event.
Anyway, be sure to play the game out for a couple of days after the initial surrender event to be sure that there isn't a follow on event that will move the French capitol back to Paris.

You can see territory IDs in the bottom-right corner with the ingame command "showid" (input it by pressing F12).
