I think you're both talking about very different things here. One small option which would probably please many players. It's just a matter of adding an option to make AI switch all city names to new ones (it'd be optional so that only those who want it would enable it). They have city names for each culture (I think) because when you switch to another culture then your new names will have names from that new culture.

That's actually something I could do quite easily for free if devs told me it'd be implemented as a game option. If we change cultures, that is we even start calling ourselves differently ('we're not Nubians anymore, we consider ourselves Greeks now') - then why we should stick to Nubian city names? When I look at map of medieval Europe I see France with Paris and England with London, not French with Moscow and English with Rome as capital cities. When I look at the map of ancient world I see Greek city states with Athens, Sparta, Corinthos, Thebai, Delphi etc as cities, not Tenochtitlan, Memphis and Beijing. It's immersion breaking for some of those who are interested in more historic approach to the game.

One small option which would probably please many players.ДЄnd yet they are not the same as 2000+ years ago which actually proves my point. They have city names for each culture (I think) because when you switch to another culture then your new cities will have names from that new culture. Yes it's a bit of work to include all the different cultures names for each city, but it should be a small text file, and I'm pretty sure you could get an intern to do it. Baghdad is for example is a major city near a lot of ancient Mesopotamian onesfor example, and it'd be cool if you could reduce some cities into villages/towns in this way in the manner some human cities have done in the past.

I think one thing I'm more interested in is potentially being able to upgrade and downgrade attached outposts alike and seeing name shifts with this. There are cities in England with Celtic names in origin for a reason. Ultimately this seems like an overly complex thing to figure out all the culture city name changes according to accurate language patterns.ДЄ lot of placenames change slightly but are indicitive of histories that are fairly interesting. Their old city names are a reminder as much as anything of the cultures they used to be. It feels like its supposed to be that way, yes your AI opponents will have weird city combinations but that seems the point. I really don't see whats immersion breaking about this in the game where you can go from Babylon to the Aztecs in a playthough. Just please add a 'rename founded cities according to culture' option in the 'start new game' options menu. Of course it should be optional (I don't think that preparing a city list for every culture and adding some script to change them would be difficult to implement) so that players who see nothing wrong with it could play as they like. I love to roleplay and dive into the game's world when I play and I know it'd be very strange for me to play against 'German' or 'French' empire if they had Babylonian or Egyptian or Chinese cities. This rule may apply only to cities founded by player, leaving the conquered cities with their original names. And so on, every time when a new culture is picked. Then you switch to Romans and Babylon is automatically changed to Rome and Borsippa to, let's say, Veii. Wouldn't having 'German empire' with Babylon as its capital and Borsippa, Rome and Antium as other cities be strange and immersion breaking? Maybe there should be (at least a customizable option) to make AI civilizations change the names of their cities every time they change culture? So you start as Babylonians and have Babylon and Borsippa. Since we (and AI) can change culture and de facto become a new 'civilization' - then what about cities? If we consider this game's design - it's possible that all territories will be claimed quite early in the game (let's say that there will be no unclaimed territories left in the early modern era). Humankind looks impressive right now and it has interesting features, but there are things that worry me a bit.
