One thing I have noticed when capturing cities. I will usually build/buy a defensive unit and include units from my army to immediately make it defensible. Corruption and Waste is still a huge problem until 2 things happen:
1. The city grows in population
2. The cities borders expand due to culture
One tactic I have tried, after making my defenses, is to use a worker to increase the city size while build/buy a temple (this tactic works better if you have a civ that can BUY improvements). Once the temple is in place immediately switch to building a library. On most occasions, the city will expand its borders after 3 turns, even if the library is not built yet, and you will see a marked increase in production and revenue from the city. Once the library is complete, most cites seem to have adjusted to relatively normal (Normal for Civ 3 anyway) rates of corruption and waste. Have only tried this tactic up to Prince and am curious to see if it works on higher levels.

War is Politics. The only difference is that you can see the blood.
