We've been through it over and over again. It's one of most dumb things made by CA, but you can't change your capital. The only way capital changes when you lose your current one.

It's such a shame too; I'm playing as Himyar, and as such, I'm forced to have naval trade routes limited to the Indian Ocean/Gulf of Oman.

Even though I have possessions which 'should' give me access to the Mediterranean - Alexandria, Ptolemais, Carthago, etc.; so it does really impact your game.

@teh_Diplomat
Wait, I've played as Himyar and I could trade with other factions by sea. Maybe there is a province separating your capital from those settlements or it is some kind of bug.

Hmm, well my Capital is the original one you start out with in Yemen, and I now have as I said, everything along northern Africa, and I can't arrange trade with anyone not touching me by land, or any port that isn't in the Gulf of Oman in the bottom right corner.

Do you have the Ghassanids province connecting your homeland with Synai and North Africa?

Yeah, I figured, when I 'got to the other side' I would have access to the Mediterranean, but alas no such option.

Here is a screenshot from my game - I've since taken Tripolitania, and Africa's southern-most settlement.

I'm also planning on going Nuclear with the Sassanids - slowly building up a judaistic population, but as I've had peace with them from the outset, I intend to keep it that way until, which time that I have subdued the rest of Africa.

Not having a war on two fronts, means I can place three priests to quickly reduce the massive penalty for the Desert Faction's (read: +50% public unrest due to religious differences) trait.

Just as I thought. You have access to the Mediterranean but look at Sassanids cutting your country. You need a land connection from your capital to those ports in Egypt. In that case to trade with most of factions you will need to conquer Palestina, and northern region of Arabia Magna.
