[Discuss] Moving capital

[Timothy Collett]

The reasons that it's abuse are just as Drago has said: the only  
reason it gives a military advantage is because of a specific  
restriction imposed by Tom--no recruiting except in the capital--and  
if that is disregarded, as it is a purely game-mechanics issue, it  
makes absolutely no sense to move your capital to the front.  Indeed,  
it makes most sense to move it *away* from the front, to the center  
of your realm, which make it a) more, well, central, and thus  
accessible to the people of your realm, and b) more defensible.   
After all, if the enemy can take your capital, you're in deep trouble.

It's not something that any reasonable King or Prime Minister of the  
era would want to do, not in a hundred years, unless there was some  
specific cultural or political reason for it.  It would never be done  
for a military advantage, because without Tom's explicit and  
deliberate restriction on recruitment, there would be none.  That  
makes doing it to gain that advantage an abuse.
