I won't be posting that much Teddy/DMOC/Dick.
I'm not even remotely close to your level of knowledge and expertise particularly with regards to simming.
however I always try to settle in place in my own games unless a move would get me an absurdly better capital. It is worth taking a capital that might be slightly less than optimal to be able to start working on your techs and production a full turn sooner, and I imagine all the more so in an MP game where you aren't likely to get as far through the tech tree as in a SP game.
