King Azzole, that's what I'm planning to do for my capital - I am dashing for the Marian reforms for which you need only one huge city and loyalty is less of an issue for the capital. The only thing that puts me off Ceres everywhere is what folk are saying about squalor later in the game. Big cities sound a real pain. Call me soft hearted, but there is something just not right about having to exterminate your city populations when they get squalid.
