In Civ4 this is the thing, if you eliminate a civ all its original cities become loyal to you and will not revolt back anymore. (If you don't eliminate it the cities will revolt with a 10%/turn prob unless you put a full stack of army in it.)
Actually, in Civ 4 cities will not revolt back to the original civ regardless if you capture them, but they can revolt and become non-functional. Eliminating a civ does remove all the cultural pressure on the city though, and it is true that will not be the cause of any more future revolts (any in progress will still go on.) However, it's more accurate to say that the cultural presence in the area has been eliminated, as if you banish them completely from the surrounding area, it'll have the same effect, though of course annihilation is the only surefire way.
That doesn't mean they are loyal to you though. A third party's culture can still flip away your city if it already had a strong presence.
That being said, annihilation really is as such though, so it's not a big deal either way.
Conversely, if the enemy city was already heavily influenced by your culture already, it'll never revolt beyond the initial capture as long as your culture there remains stronger than anyone else's.
