Changing Capitals?

**Zipzopdippidybopbop** · June 01, 2009, 07:48 PM

Hi. I dont know if this has been looked into previously, but is there any way the game can be implemented to include a change of the capital city?

If one already exists then OOPS! But playing as Britain, I cannot find a tool to change the faction capital ingame.

Any feedback is really welcome =)

The only way i am aware of changing the capital is if you lose your main one.
You may also be able to code it, but i dont think that there is an ingame feature.

thanks. i just find the little things that were left out in Empire a tad annoying.

oh hey. if u use the esf. editor you can change the starting regions capital. thats all i can do so far....

but apart from that, it looks like we're stuck ¬¬

It wouldn't be realistic anyways. You're capital is your biggest and most important city. It also is central in your empire and where you gain the most tax. Would be weird to change London's capital to Edinburgh.

true, but its the only thing i can find for changing the capital city =(

is there a script for the next city in line? like if ur capitals taken, (random for me) but something like edinburgh or dublins next in line?

if that could be found, it could also possibly be exploited.

it's anoying when lets say london is captured and Edinbuorg is the capital but then you retake london but it's not your capital.

there is nothing in game, but it is fairly simple to edit your savedgame.esf file. if you need help doing that just ask.

I wonder though i have had england taken and when i took it back it became my capitol again.

Even if the original capitol is captured by another faction there are still cai records connected with the old capitol region. That's why when you recapture it becomes capitol automatically.
