Your new capital will be your major town with the highest loyalty AFTER
the adjustment in loyaty is made for losing your old capital.

No, you would have to transfer your capital first to another MT and then
you can transfer it to someone else.  Your second question in #2 is
correct.

YES.  ;-) I have done it and hired an army at an enemy's capital (former
capital that is)  much to his chagrin.	So if your capital loyalty is low
you had better watch out.  Hire an army there to prevent its influence
and make sure that you at least dislike the nation if you are dealing
with a neutral that is trying to influnce your pop center away.

Good Luck and I hope that this helps you.  BTW this info is good for the
fourth age scenario as well.
