Changing minor cities+ to castles ???

[Strabo]

Hey

Is it possible to edit some files so that it's possible in a campaign to convert settlements that are Minor cities and above back to castles ???

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but ...

I actually think it's reasonable for the game not to allow cities to be turned into castles. Castles represent a feudal agricultural society. The transition from castles to cities represents the shift from this primitive society (which had many military advantages) to a more urban, commercial society. This involved granting town rights, etc. Both the social and legal elements of this transformation could not easily be reversed, if at all. There is no way a city with a royal charter, some degree of self-rule, and a thriving economy is going to allow itself to be shut down and reduced to a Dark Age-style domain. Possible for a small town, but not for any respectable city.

That's my 2 cents, sorry it didn't answer your technical question.
