alright so i built my cities a little too spread out, and another civ built a city in between one of mine and the capital. so now my city is cut off from all the luxuries and is constantly is disorder. how do i get rid of that city without declaring war on the civ? i need that civ for trade plus i have a trading civilization and have a very poor standing army

I'm puzzled. If you have roads connecting all the way (even through their territory), and they aren't at war with you and don't have a trade embargo, their city shouldn't be a problem.
If they DO have a trade embargo, you need to either wait for it to end or get to war against whoever they are embargoed with, and then get them to DoW that civ also (which will break all their deals).

You could try to get it to flip to you (if you have cultural flips turned on) by adding some cultural buildings to the capital and city. May take a while though.
Awww, one little ol' war won't stop them from trading with you. It'll make them mad, but they won't necessarily stop trading. Just be sure that you don't break any per-turn deals when you DOW (or better yet, get them to DOW you), and you can preserve your rep. Take the city, then make peace & go back to trading.
hmm good ideas and by the way no we're not at war and there's no trade embargoes or anything like that but my city is still not getting the luxuries.
well i tried going to war but it just didnt work. my military is way behind the times because i skipped technologies like feudalism so i could get ones like navigation so my military is not very advanced. oh and im just passed the ancient times age by the way
well i guess i could try a quick way. thanks for the help u guys this forum is great!

If you want an answer to the lux, post a save and then it can be figured out. The lux must be connected to the trade grid to be available. This means by road or water or airport to airport with a city on the grid.
Does the city view of the town with the lux show it as a resource at the top? Not sure how you get to Nav without learning Feud or better yet why you would want to do that. In fact there is no compelling reason to learn Nav, you do not need the wonder.
I would much prefer to skip Nav and get to the next age. I think nearly everyone would try to get feud straight away. It is a massively important tech and should be first up.

I've never tried to get to Feudalism ASAP in any game I've played. Either I've traded for it when scientific tribes got it, or just went up the Mono-Theology-Education path and traded back for it (usually with Theology it seems). You can go Mono-Theology-Education-Astronomy-Navigation and not have Feudalism.
Usually when I'm in a situation like this (assuming cultural conversions is turned on) I usually just build culture buildings in surrounding cities. Eventually the offending city will submit to your cultural superiority and you don't even have to anger your cherished trading partner.
However, as Aabraxan said, as long as your rep is in tact the civ will still trade with you after a war even if they get pwned.

Certainly is the faster option.
It all depends on the strategic situation in game I suppose..Spoonwood said:
I wasn't aware of this, I usually play Monarch level. ^_^ So I think that seals it, conquer them and wipe that unseemly blotch of colour off your map!
