Not this again.
Secede (v t, v it): To take the Duchy one is Duke of (containing at least one city) and form of it a new realm. Cannot be done with the last city in a realm. (Used to be impossible with a capital.)
Change Allegiance (v it): To take the region one is Lord of or the Duchy one is Duke of and join it to another realm. Cannot be done with the last city in a realm. (Has always been possible with a capital.)
Please make sure to keep them straight.
However, in this case, yes, the restriction on secession with the capital of the realm is gone. I'm...not sure if that was deliberate or not, but at least now the two options are in balance with what their restrictions are.
Actually you are wrong. Well, probably not wrong about the design, but in practice I did exactly what you just said I can't do recently on Atamara. I changed the allegiance of Shanandoah from Hammarsett to Coria. It was not only the last city in the realm, it was the last region in the realm. From what you're saying, I now gather that this is a bug. However, anyone with a character currently on Atamara should probably be forgiven for thinking that it is in fact possible to change the allegiance of the only city in the realm.
Want me to put up a bug report?
