Does it really change the outcome of the war? Does a country fall when the capital city is captured?
In: 462
One of two reasons. If the opposing government is still operating out of the capital, capturing the capital means capturing the government. Capturing the government means controlling the opposing side. You can imprison their leaders, or kill them, or ransom them in exchange for surrender. If the opposing government *isn’t* operating out of the capital, then capturing the capital lets you install your own puppet government for the country instead. This gives your puppet government a legitimacy bonus.
