Some one else started this idea and I came up with this wish for the next game. As in WWII, even Germany couldn't survive without its Capital. I personally think adding capitals to each nation would improve gameplay dramatically by making it an instant loss with losing it. AND, better yet, YOU HAVE TO STORM IT TO TAKE IT OVER.
First, it gives you a goal. For instance, Italy goes on a rampage and owns everyone and everything and you are smack down with 1/3 of whats theirs, you make a huge dash for the Capital.
Second, it makes Fortress Storms freaking sweet. I have never had a Fortress fight before EVER and I would love to do it.
Third, its reality - Even the mighty Roman Empire (I KNOW THEY DIDN"T LOSE ROME but they almost did with Hannabel.) would have errupted in chaos if Rome fell and the main politicians/emperer were executed.
and Forth, it would set up major battles more often than just once or twice a champaign. Yeah, I know, the Golden Horde/Borg factor adds one big battle, whopptie do.
I just think its a great idea. I mean, you take over Washington DC and the US isn't going to just be OKAY with it and move on, we would struggle like hell for a while.
