Buildings that change strat-map appearance (palace, roads, farms, walls) cannot be destroyed without causing a bug.

Once a city gets to a level, there is no way in making decrease in level or change the cultural appearance of the town while keeping it the same level.

If your towns are Large Towns, get them to 6,000 population and you'll be able to upgrade them to Minor City.

All the towns are large but some towns I had rereach the pop. of 6,000 and no option to upgrade to minor city because it has already had the holds of that level in the town before I conqured it. I guess the next step is next city level at 12,000?

That shouldn't be. If you are Roman, you should be able to upgrade it to Minor City no matter the level it was when you conquered it. Can you upgrade cities in Italy when you get to 6,000?

OP: You need modify EDU and scripts and descr_strat, remove all "hinterland_" text, i.e. rename building "hinterland_farms" to "farms"

Since a building name may be referenced in many places, it'd be better if you get some search+replace tool to scan all *.txt in EB directory, and backup everything you modify. It's not a simple task unless you're a modder

PS: walls and core buildings cannot be destroyed, and destroying roads doesn't downgrade the real roads on campaign map.
