Actually you don't pay for your Capital relocation when your Capital
is lost! If you've got a suitable back-up place (i.e. Major Town or
City), then the Capital is transferred without any cost!! You only
pay the 25Grand when you issue the Relocate Capital order yourself.
Otherwise Phredd is right in that you get no notice about it - you
just have to keep on conquering :-)

Yes! Important note, though: you have time to receive a new Major Town
with the Transfer Population Center order before you're eliminated! I.e.
your fellow TEAM players can save your hide, by giving a MT to you in
case you stand to loose your last MT/City (and thus your Capital).
