In my last game I played the Japanese on Emperor, and I was conquering the world with my Samoerai. At a certain point my only opponent left were the Chinese, and luckely I had the only Saltpeter on the map, so they attackt me but fought them of and went to there city's to capture them, a war was fought on two continents, one with a major corupption problem. And I had an other problem, the Chinese had a higher culture, so the first 2 city's I captured flipt back after about 3 turns later. So I decided to raze the city's the next time(wich I never did before in a game), and I say that these city's of 12 population each generated 6 chinese workers. So I tought lets add tose guys to my total corrupt city's and switch back to Despotism (major advantage of religious Civ's) and lets rush some Samoerai, so I could save gold and transportation from my non-corrupt to my corrupt continent. So I did this with almost al the Chinese city's, I liked the strategy because the tought that his own population would be sacrificed to build troups who would again take more of his population to sacrifice is a satisfying tought if its your first emperor game, MUHAHAHAHA
