In short, we want to be more storyteller than referee for this kind of action. This lets us handle complexities with story instead of system.
To put it in more detail, you might be able to move an influence center, but we're not predefining what will happen, or even what it would take to do it. If you'd like to attempt it, use some of your Influence actions to do the research, and we'll craft up a story around it, and tell you what else you need to do. And then we'll help tell that story, including results both seen and unforseen. Keep in mind that there are a lot of butterfly effects from as large an event as moving a center, and you shouldn't expect to understand all the repercussions. It might change feeding modifiers, it might not. It might pull other centers into new locations, it might not. It all depends on your approach plus a hundred million other things not necessarily all under your control.
To clarify: Feeding modifiers, influence centers, their bonuses for being in your domain, etc are all unchanged. The easiest way to weasel your way into cooler stuff for your clain is to obtain more or different domain. Which, incidentally, was the point of these things anyway, to create a reason for our denizens to desire one part of the domain or another, andfight roleplay over the differences.
Get cracking!
(and post any questions, obviously)
