This is mostly for end game.
Anyway, go to war with some AI that has a lot of gold.
Take a city and kill his army to force out a peace a deal. Now, in the peace deal trade back the city you just took for a lump sum of gold. You can get ~9000g sometimes.

Also, sometimes there is a city that you can take but you can't really hold. You can do a flat peace deal or take the city and trade it for gold on the turn you take it.

Usually taking cities in the end of the game is pointless since they will be in revolt for too long. However, you can sometimes peace and trade them off for a lot of gold during the peace deal.

Don't ask "what do you think of the deal" just do the trade and see if they accept.
 
You have always been able to sell cities for huge sums of gold for any AI that wants that city. It's not really more exploity now. Even if you want to sell in something that isnt a peace deal and you arent friends, you can still just settle for gpt.
 
When the game has maybe 5-10 turns left before its over flat gold is much better. BNW made it so you can only get lump sums of cash from people you have a DoF with. Gold jacking via peace deal bypasses this. Which is why it is different now compared to before where you could get flat gold at any time.
