I think it would be cool to be able to remobilize your headquarters or float your headquarters to another secure location instead of having to build more dominions. This would allow bases to be built all over the map instead of one location. Outposts can be crucial especially when an enemy is over extended.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS!!!!!!!

Players being able to remobilize their HQ would be nice on some maps but ruin the game play on other maps.
I think (if this was ever to be added to the game) map makers should be able to pick whether remobilizing is allowed in their map or not.

Knowing where is the best place to position your dominion is a skill within itself.

Been able to reposition it makes it so hard to finish off matches. Think about if you see your enemies hq, you will always try and target that area so that they can't build anymore, but what if they move the hq to a different spot while you focus that area. Makes the game harder

A harder game requires more skill.

On one hand this would make the game easier, making noobs enjoy the game more.
On the other hand this could complicate the game further and make it less attractive to new players.

Perhaps this could be an advanced option that could be enabled under the options menu?

I say no. It's more simple, as well as more challenging, to place dominions the way they are.

I do agree that not being able to repack your Dominion requires players to have foresight on where they want to position their bases. However, it's not a horrible idea in its entirety (Command and Conquer, for example, allows you to unpack/repack your mobile construction vehicle so you can deploy outposts in various sections of the map).

As for WI, however, I like how it is.
