The culture flipping and culture ranges have one thing that irritates. Sometimes when you capture nice cities you're have no better solution than to raze them, because otherwise they would instantly get flooded by the culture range of a neutral neighboring city and have no chance to develop...
There is the option of "No City Flipping After Conquest" (or something like that) when starting a custom game.
No, that's not that. There's option "city flipping after conquest", but it's kind of junky one, since there's nothing better left in mid and late game conquests than to build settlers and send them with your armies to build your own cities and raze the enemy ones. Even at normal game such tactic has its advantages.
There's also an option to disable the cultural flipping at all, but I don't think it's a good idea. It is nice that cities that are allready crushed by foreign culture flip to thier favor, since thire original owner didn't have much use of them anyway.
As I said the problem is that you capture a city near a cultured neutral one. Under the govern of it's original owners, it could be prosperous, but when you take it, its culture drops down to 0, which means that the city will find itself flooded by neutral territory and it won't be able to work on enough tiles to develop, but it will cost you mainatence, you'll have to quell the resistance and you'll have to defend it and in the long term even if you invest in that city, it will most probably flip to that neutral faction. Those reasons are enough convincing to make a decidion about razing a well-placed and developed city.
