This is my first post, so be gentle.
While playing GOTM 5 I read about the 'free palace jump' and decided to try it myself by disbanding Washington (which was at the far east of my empire). I assumed it would go to the largest city (Paris), which was approximately in the middle - I even added a few workers to make it bigger. However, the capital instead moved to Chicago, which was the westernmost city, and right near the front with Russia - a long and protracted war, but that's another story.
How do you predict where the new Capital will be? Does it have to be a city you have started yourself?
