Makes sense. It's a lot older.
EDIT: I swear to God, I didn't even mean to make that Pun!

I mean Half a Million is nothing to Scoff at.
But Oldtown has given its Location, One, Two million people.

And if/when you start expanding across the Blackwater, improve the quality of life in the city, the port and trade, etc., that population will climb quickly.
Not to mention the growth that comes once you start instituting a larger government than 'King and Council', and hey, so long as we're expanding, why not construct a new centre of learning and knowledge for the Citadel, like the way the Sept of Baelor was a gesture to the Faith? (we can really trump Oldtown, and the Reach at large, at their own game)

And, unlike Oldtown, Kings landing tends to be periodically sacked due to civil wars...
Good or bad?
Because I can see Viserys being called "The Generous" after that...
But I suppose that our debtors won´t be happy of losing a good amount of the power which they had over Westeros.

True and there is also the great benefit of not being sacked in over 300 years, have people who actually give a shit about the cities wellbeing, and otherwise being fucking badasses who really hate the fuck out of the Tyrells.
yes the Hightowers hate the Tyrells so much, they make Oldtown the best city in the REach to spite them.
Lets put this into words that I will say for Viserys:
"Why does everyone want to live in this shithole?"
"Lets see, education opportunity, job opportunity in highly desirable occupations that have a future for themselves and their families, there is a brilliant and otherwise booming food economy, the port is always looking for more sailors... Need I go on?" Dany stated.
"It's still a shithole."
"It's your shithole."
The problem with Kings Landing is simple. It's too big to properly govern. We have 7 kingdoms to run, and the city itself has overgrown the original purpose.
We might need a mayor of Kings Landing soon just to give more actions.

Dammit, this would be such a great post for Davos or for Tyrion.

...I mean, we could really tempt fate by spitting in its eye, and establish the position "Prince of the City", have that be the role of the heir apparent and make Dragonstone the seat for who-or-whomever is after them? Sort of an "up to bat/on deck/in the hole" situation. Or make Dragonstone the family retreat in place of Summerhall. There's options for days.

Lets just remember that I'm someone who really makes consequences stick, remember?
And you blowing up the Iron Throne is going to have consequences.

I wouldn´t say that Dragonstone is such a great place to make a Family retreat... It is small, cramped, arid, and not especially comfortable...

But it is very magical.
And the Dragons gain shit from being at a volcano.

...I mean, I was all for keeping the doom chair. I like the doom chair.
But yeah, it's always good to have things connect and tip other dominoes down the line, even if we don't see the results for 2 turns or 20. It's my preferred way of DMing, and it feels more grounded in worldbuilding.
On the other hand, we have money, dragons, relatives who ride them, and coin; all of which can help fix a lot of those things.

I am not saying that it is not an interesting place which can give us lots of benefits...
I am just saying that if we want to go on vacations with our family there are plenty of better places than this one.
Gumiho
Reach heaven through violence!
Maybe we should put Aegon on it. He's a capable administrator.
Poor Dany, we have really failed as her guardian if her education is so lacking that she mistakes King's Landing for Viserys's poophole.
Well yes, i imagine Dragon's still have to poop after eating.

I made it an option to keep, it would just have its own problems.
Different problems than your quest.
You don't think I have plans for you? Do you?
I have plans among Plans, among Plans.
Hell, I worked with @Cyberphilosipher for a hot minute for just some ideas that he had for another quest that he tried but never really got around to finishing.
Like a really good idea, Consequences for an Alexander the Great Destroying the Mongols... That sort of thing.
Parlimentarians in the Riverlands, that sort of thing.
But would Aegon want to take over our Shithole.
We all know that Kings Landing is shithole, and there is nothing but time, money and a lot of actions to fix it into something not worth calling a shithole.
They might even poop eggs when their old enough.

Well, Dany was always sassy, but I suppose that spending several months living among the Sand Snakes has put her sass into Obi Wan´s level.
That is why I want to put Davos in that position, he is a native to Kings Landing, and he knows well the worst aspects of the city because he has had to suffer them... So I am guessing that he will be very motivated to try and fix them if we give him power.

Say what you want about the court of Viserys the third: but there are two things that are needed to survive it. Competence and a sense of humor.
Ned and Stannis are the token straight men who's reactions are there to make things funnier.
And let's be honest when things aren't serious, expect it to be a palace of wit and rhetoric.
He's got his own problems to deal with, and I dont think that he wishes to leave his home again for an extended period of time when he wishes to be a better father to his sons, then the distant one he became in the last two years.
Lord Davos needs to make up for lost time, and he isn't shipping his family back to Kings Landing any time soon.

Understandable, even if it is a shame losing the best man for the job... I thought that since he was available for the position of commander of the Glodcloacks, he would also be an option to become the Mayor/Burgomaister of King´s Landing.

[X]Because right now, you're too useful alive. I'm not a fool like Robert, nor a mad man like my father. You have your uses to me, and I am keen to make use of them. I only hope you realize that, and I may make use of you soon enough.
[X] Plan Building a Foundation for the Future
[X]To Be Debt Free: Robert has squandered the Realms coffers with his appetites and flights of fancy, enough to where the Realm is in serious financial trouble, even with the debts of certain kingdoms forgiven.
[X]Expand Naval Defenses: The Royal Navy is not what it was under Lord Stannis as MAster of Ships. It has fallen on the wayside, and there are many reports that your enemies in the east wish to strike back against the Dragon lord who may threaten the Slave Trade.
[X]The City the West Desires: Kings Landing will be a capital worthy of being the Capital of this new Westeros.
