I'm new to CIV 4 so as I play I need to figure things out. In one game I am playing I am the Romans and I have the Germans to the north of me. Their culture is encrouching on mine to the point where I am losing too much territory. Since I can't "out culture" them I decided to go to war with them. I took over one city and destoyed another, but my culture border barely moved (if at all). With the city I have taken over, how soon will it be before the German culture subsides and the new Roman culture begins to take over? Over time, will the number of Germans in the city go down and the Roman population rise?

The culture in the area will slowly go down as you build culture in your newly conquered cities. However, if the cultural area is within close range of other German cities, you'll probably see a revolt in your conquered cities as the people there try to return to the German Empire.
Of course, you'll have to build alot of cultural buildings in order to counter all the culture that has been built up over the years of game time the cities were under control of the Germans.
The only way to ensure that you won't have any more problems with German Culture would be to either take all of the German land for yourself, or start razing the border German cities so that their cultural influence will end.

That's why the Germans were destroying all my cities rather than taking them over. Culture definitly changed in this game compared to CIV III.
I haven't checked the city screen yet, but if I take over a city, do all their cultural items get destroyed as well (like temples, theaters, radio antennas, etc...) or may some still exist? If they exist, do they automatically start producing culture for your empire?

All cultural buildings are destroyed, unless it is a UB for your civ and the standard building doesn't generate culture (e.g. Incan terrace replaces granary).
All military buildings are destroyed too (barracks and stables).
No buildings are destroyed if you flip a city though.

I don't think cities can flip back to civs who once owned the city, they just revolt all the time.
