Please please please can we have an option for the Austro-Hungarian capital to be moved to Vienna. I play a lot of monarchist paths and this is a bug bearer for me.

In game it is Hungary centered unlike the WW1 and pre-WW1 empire so capital being at Budapest is intended.

You can form Austria-Hungary with any of its 3 main former members. Vienna is the traditional capital of Austria-Hungary.

If done by focus tree for Hungary then it obviously makes sense for it to be Budapest but if you are forming as Austria it should be Vienna, or even Prague if you are forming as Czech.

These are fair points.

I'd say the best solution might be to rename it to Habsburg Empire and then the country which forms it retains her capital.

It's already quite weird that Czech can form Austria-Hungary? What?

I think regardless where Austria-Hungary would be formed, its capital should still be Vienna because that was the original capital. Austria-Hungary was meant (in theory) to be a union of people, not a place where one is the overlord and the others its subject, there were even talks to make it a federation before World War I.

For legitimacy, whoever restores Austria-Hungary would want to move its capital to Vienna, otherwise it can be easily seen as Hungarian supremacy or Czech supremacy by the rest of its population.

So, basically, play ahistorical, pray to the RNG gods that Austria-Hungary is formed, join faction and puppet Germany. Theres no way you'll get such good RNG that both Germany and Hungary goes non-aligned on the same game, that's like 1 in a thousand chance.
Unless Austria-Hungary is somehow formable during peace conferences, so you can just go to war with everyone.

These are fair points.

you just need to find a descandent of the Luxemburg Dynastie instead of a Habsburg. For a Czech Austria Hungary i think there would be some narrative events and something like revange for the "battle of the white mountain". To make any sense for a czech Austria Hungary there would be much changes in which should be covered by Focuses to see shifts in the society to change things which are deeply tied in the EU IV timeline.
