Unfortunately as we didn't build the Pyramids and Temple of Zeus they won't produce culture for us, we just get the benefit of their other effects. If we capture Lisbon (our reason for the war after all) we will therefore have a city right next to the new Portuguese capitol. A flip waiting to happen. We must therefore take all 3 cities, so unless they build another city a good distance off we will have to destroy them utterly.
Just a thought - if we don't want to destroy them, what if we throw Over There (currently under threat from the Byzanines) into the pot. Gift them the city now, they'll send troops to defend it, then when we have taken their 3 main cities that will become their new capitol. I don't suppose they'll last long up there though so it probably isn't a good idea.

I'd rather give Over There to the Indians. Then we can take all the Indian cities except that one. Much cleaner.
Portugal is too difficult right now. We would have to build a fleet and I think the shields could be put to better use ATM.

You guys are worried about a culture-flip, well i guess you have a reason too be worried, BUT how well does are culture match up with the Portugal's culture??
Correct me if im wrong but if our overall culture is greater, doesn't that decrese the chance of a CF?? and when i say strave them out at Lisbon, i dont mean wait 20-30 turns, 10 should be sufficent to weaken them, and replace any troops needed/lost for the invasion of Lisbon. Lisbon is quite easy to destroy. So here's what id do;
1.get updated intel. on all of their cities, (especialy Lisbon)
2.INVADE i recomend galley's to get the two side cities first.
3.Based off the intel we get, we either:
A.Invade Lisbon
B.Starve them out for a few turns and THEN invade
Once those things are done the Portlgeus (or however you spell it) are GONE, im assuming we want them COMPLETLEY eliminated, which means that we have nothing to gain from them, only to stop them and their TWO wonders.
