Does it really change the outcome of the war? Does a country fall when the capital city is captured?
In: 462
First and foremost, morale, its a pretty big blow to armed forces if their capital is captured.
Second, a country in war is still a country, if you capture the capital, you basically decapitated every department, all decisions for civil things will be delayed/mishandled which then reduces war support.
Third, Chaos and uncertainty, same with 2nd claus, when you capture a city in modern day, it will produce a massive flow of civilian escaping to other cities. This isn’t just people, but businesses and manufactures which results in disrupting the supply chain. Fighting a war isn’t just supplying guns and ammo, its a upward fight if your troops don’t have access to food/toilet paper/electricity.
