Is it wise to go for a cultural overtake of enemy cities or does it cost to much?
Maybe its better to run on with my armed forces?

Well, it can get expensive, especially, if you are relatively close in culture. But you have an advantage in culture, lots of time, money and luck, then it can be a very easy clean way to do it.

Emulator of Otto von Bismarck, Master of realpolitik, May he rest in peace.

But the liberals should be careful of screaming too loud ... of conspiring too well ... of undermining us too thoroughly. Because if they succeed, if they do get what they insist they want, then the result may well be something they never conceived ... "They have made a desolation, and they call it peace." ~Tacitus~ ... but a peace controlled by our former enemies.

There is a way of doing it and I call it culture mongering. It is expensive, but it keeps the peace, which in turn generates income -- keep that in mind.

I've done it a few times to get a city into fully populated continents. One way to abuse this is with a war. Its much easier to convert captured cities (just be on the right side of the right people!). There isnt much of a window for use though, 'sepecially in harder levels. Once a civ hits nationalism you cant convert 'em.

Well you can estimate the likelihood of a flip and then make a decision depending on the specific circumstances.

...If you really want to calculate it then you can read this information here. Then you can figure out exactly how likely it is, depending on what you know and what you can find out about the city. ... Or you could just pound them in with your tanks!!!
