I'm not sure if this is the way it should be or not but in my Risk-E-Vaders map there is abandon and Capitals but it won't let you abandon a capital even if you have another one, is that the way it is supposed to be?  I had planed the bonuses so that you should do that when you eliminate someone but it doesn't seem to work.

If this is the way it is supposed to be I can update the map, I just want clearification, please.

Sounds like that's working as planned... you can't ever abandon a capital even if you have more than one.

Although potentially this could be changed.

Hmmmm, seems like if you have at least 1 capital you should be able to abandon the other.  The abandon becomes a Neutral Capital.

Why was it planned to where you can't abandon "extra" capitals?

Although Risky, I guess you could turn Capital City Capture Off, in which case the Capital is "destroyed" upon elimination and should be available to be abandoned (still changes the game some).

I could just take that bonus away all together. It was just an attempt to make things more complicated.

Yeah I can't really remember why I made that decision. It was probably because it was easier to code :)

To change it now might break some other board functionality so it would probably have to be done via an additional rule setting 'Allow capital abandonment'.
