Wow! First post
I noticed that many times culturally developed ancient cities such as Mediolanum tend to dominate other cities belonging to civs spawning in Middle Ages. The dominated cities end up completelly surrounded by Roman teritorry and stuck at size of 1. High culture didn't give new territories in real history so I think it's unrealistic to expand your border via culture in Civ.
I think that big cultural centers should instead drain commerce from culturally poor cities as it happens in real life. For example if a tile would belong to Rome and is outside of any Roman city's radius but is in Marseilles radius, then 5% of Marseilles commerce would be given to the nearest Roman city.
Let me know what you think
