Moving your capital

[Solmyr]

I hope this is going to be possible in EU2. It would be weird if Turkey conquered Thrace but kept its capital in Macedonia. Perhaps the AI can also be programmed to make certain historical capital transfers like this.

 

[Smiffus]

Yep, it's possible

Does anyone know if there is any advantage to do this? Or is it just for aestethic reasons.

If I was playing Russia I would never move the capital to S:t Petersburg, closer to those mean Swedes, but rather to Siberia were noone could get at it...

I think that moving your capital will be event based. Therefore I doubt you could just move it to anywhere you want.

True But there is always the save game file.

Well yeah but that is technically cheating. But then again I wont tell if you dont.

I'll be interested to see how this works out. I'd like to be able to move my capital wherever I see fit, but there should be some negative consequences to it, such as decreased stability, etc so it isn't done willy-nilly.

I think you should be able to move your capital freely since you are the supreme ruler. Could set it so you could only move your capital to provinces with an equal or higher population than your present capital province. Moving to CoT province can happen too regardless of population size. I'd had times where my capital province isn't the highest populated province I control, as such it would make sense that one would move their capital to where most the people are, or most the money is in regard to CoT.

In a different forum (and therefore thread), Greven stated that Capitals will move, but it will be event driven.

I like your sig!

Sorry for having nothing constructive to add to the topic. There has been an extensive thread about it and all has been said there, including how many times and on what occasions the Chinese empire has moved it's capital.

hmmm....youll probably only be able to move it to a highly populated province that has some signifigance, like a manufactory, CoT... you know!

No, you're not. The monarch is above you.

So has the US. It started out at New York, went to Philly (or was it the other way around?) and then ended up in Washington, DC after they built the Capital.

Hey
I remember reading in another forum that there is a possibility of forcing a nation to move their capital. Well, I came across the situation where France only had Paris and a TP on Kitimat (that small island just off Northwest America). If I could force France to move their capital, would that situation be possible? Or, in EU II, I'd just annex them?
