So currently your City Centre retains the same apperance as the culture that originally founded it. I get where they are going with this Its a way of trying to tell a story through the visuals, the problem is this means most major cities are going to have the ancient and classical era city centres.

Every culture in the game has a unique city centre but the current system means you will likely never see the later cultures city centres which is a big shame.

I think an option to update a city centre could exist, any era you could choose to update the a city centre to your current culture but that also gives you the option to leave it. Say as the Franks you like your Roman city centre then keep it. It gives the player some more story telling options as they can choose if their current culture would use the old buildings or make something new.

I like to try and weave a story into my games to explain how and why my culture has changed. Having that choice would be great for roleplaying. AI could even behave based on personality so a traditionalist AI will never update their city centres while a modernist always updates theirs.

Totally agree. It could be awesome if you can upgrade city center to see how it looks like in modern ara.

Yes I think it will be very hard to see the contempoary culture city centres even if you avoid settling the AI will just take the regions instead.

Agree, zhou palace in ottoman capital was bothering me a little.

Any updates on this, like has any modder made this possible yet, please?

Just looked on the modding page and nothing yet. I'm waiting for this and some way for city names to evolve.
