So what happens when you're capturing several cities? Imediatly start building settlers in other cities or build settlers in the cities you just captured?
Also: is (for instance) 20 cities an absolute maximum, or is it ok to have like 21 or 22 cities for a few turns when you're invading another country, meaning the city cap isn't very strict?

That's what makes this such a devious restriction. It is much cheaper and quicker to disband the city by starving it rather than building settlers, but then you get no benefit from its dissolusion (thus we have a hard decision to argue over). Also, my understanding is that the discussions of the cap have mostly been centered around a "hard" cap so that we would be forced to make difficult decisions like keeping a few city-cap "slots" open for capture vs. building all 20 right away, which city to disband, how to disband it, which cities are worth capturing and which should be razed, etc. The whole idea of the cap is to (a) make the game more challenging and (b) give the democracy some difficult decisions to debate amongst ourselves.
