Destroy Capitals?

What level do you play at Seanirl? I try to keep my bargains with the AI as good as possible, like someone already mentioned above, what good are masses of excess luxuries if no one cares to trade with you cause they're furious with you?

One thing to remember with trying to keep a capital is that alot of civs like to build wonders in there second or third major city which is usually right beside the capital and thus has alot of culture.

I use the spy on a town a bit when I'm worried about culture flips as it can only flip once a city near it increases its cultural border, then it calculates whether the city will flip or not. If it is about to try and expand its cultural border via the spying then I go in and take it. Else I cut my losses and raze or give away the city which will flip. The only thing I really hate with culture flips is that usually you end up losing alot of troops you had garrisoned there for further attacks or defense.
