Move Capital and Build Up Economy

Step-by-Step

Open the Province or Government tab and review potential new capital locations for strategic, economic, or defensive advantages.
Move your capital to a province with high development, central location, or strong economic potential.
Invest in economic buildings, markets, and infrastructure to boost income in your capital and core provinces.
Adjust cabinet assignments to maximize economic growth and stability.
Balance development spending with military and diplomatic needs—avoid bankrupting your realm for upgrades.

Capital relocation can provide key bonuses for growth and security.
Economic development accelerates tax income and enables more ambitious expansion.
Proper capital and economic management lay foundations for mid- and late-game success.
