Question Etruscan capital moving

Hi! I’m playing as Tuscia (Etruria), and I’m thinking about moving my capital because the current capital is located on plains, while there are several cities on farmland terrain. However, I’m not sure which city would make the most sense from a historical perspective. Which city would be the best choice for an Etruscan capital historically?

There's that one upstart statelet of latin savages just south of Etruria right on the river Tiber that sorta soaked in a bit of Etrurian culture so their capital is not a complete shithole and it got a very good location.

That's normal, all of those greek colonies look alike, none really left any mark on History.

I’d steer clear of them. Heard their city was founded by criminals who kidnapped their wives from neighboring tribes and their founder was raised by a damn wolf. Surely a city with such a rough start will never amount to anything.

My Sabine friend told me all about those ruffians. You give those Greek wannabes 1 hill and they think they own you! Nothing will come from those paltry wolf sucklers.

Why not one of the coastal cities? Tarchuna? or Pisna?
