Istanbul Name Change

[kyled88]

In my current game as Italy, I am trying to conquer the territory that was once part of the Roman Empire. I was wondering, when I conquer Istanbul from the Ottomans, is there a way to change the name back to Constantinople?

If you own the province then opening the province screen and clicking the name allows you to change it. City was supposed to be able to do that too but no idea why it isn't.

If you have dynamic provinces names on it might do that on it's own already but I am not sure what your culture would tag it as if anything.

EDIT: Apparently Latin culture group only has a name for Kaffa being Cafa instead so I don't think it would change the name.

There's an option when you load the game which makes all provinces change names dependant on who their owner is.

Danzig for example will be called Gdánsk if taken by Poland.

With that said I'm not sure if Italy has this included because they're.. well.. Italy. But it might. Make sure the province naming is turned on next time you load the game by going in the settings menu before you press Play :)

Not for Italy, no. Byzantium (which can be formed by any country with greek culture) can change the name (as well as several other provinces). But only by restoring the theme system which requires Byzantium to hold most of Anatolia.

If Byzantium still has any cores you could release them as a vassal and then feed them the land they need, but doing so would make them extremely powerful and they'd require an absolute ton of diplomatic power to reintegrate.

(*ﾟーﾟ) it turns out Emperor Diocletian was just trying to vassal feed and didn't have enough diplo power to re-integrate
