capital = GP farm?

[AL_DA_GREAT]

I ussually find that my capital is the most powerfull city.

I found it made me a nice Science city in a game fairly recently. Of course I did move my palace (in order to cut mantanience) but it was a nice mix of floodplains and grasslands. With a lot of cottages and burocracy twas pumping out quite a respectable science/commerce. It helped also that I had a nice religeon founded there.

I find it damned hard to get a religion in my capitol. Unless I have Mysticism and want to race for Buddhism/Hinduism, I have enough other research priorities to insure that by the time I can afford a religion I will have already founded my second city. And that's where the religion will go. And I don't think there is anything you can do after that.

In my last 3 games i didn't found a single religion.
I however had almost all holy cities

They usually are quite good captured cities, with a good lot of population you can whip for monasteries (and start spreading missionaries)
