You'll get a warmonger penalty if you capture another civs cities.
You can trade civs for their cities or if your at war with them they will usually offer you a city for a peace treaty

[morcus]

When you capture another civ's capital city, if it is not their last city, the next highest populated city becomes the capital. If you eliminate a civilization from the game, other civ's will think that you are a warmonger, and will become hostile, guarded or remain the same depending on how much they tolerate warmongering. So like A peaceful civ like Ghandi (until he gets nukes) would be more mad at you for Warmongering rather than the Mongols or another warmongering civ. Usually you can't buy other cities unless you have a bunch of money or resources, but if you are at war with them and winning by a lot, they might offer a city to you in exchange for a peace deal. Hope this helped!

By capturing the capital, you are effectively knocking out the civ's major eeconomic hub (depanding on how fast they expand.) It would be a huge setback to anyone that lost it and couldn't immediately retake it.

For their military, it would only have any major effects on either new units (lost of instant xp,) and any stationed in the city's territory would suddenly have lost their reinforcement (healing) bonus for being in friendly territory.

Don't expect much in the way of debuffs: losing your original capital is a very steep price to pay at any rate. Think of how much economic might in the form of produce, production, and gold flow into your coffers. The AI is a little worse for wear building their cities up I've found. Maybe they just do terrible when at war, idk.

As for other civs, they will likely start denouncing you in a domino effect. Some may declare war on you, but it shouldn't be all that hard to repulse them until you are ready to assault them yourself. (Just use whatever of your surviving army that you used to take the capitol.) Depends on the civ really. Some don't give a ****, others take the invasion as a threat to themselves.

Finally, yes you can buy cities, but expect a huge price. Never have done it in peace times. I don't know why you would even dare do that. War is cheaper. Civs will give you cities if it buys peace. They will never sell out their original capital: it's not possible.

Hope I helped. With all this text, I should hope thatI'm not just rambling aimlessly. Good day mate.

If you capture the capital, it is quite likely they would agree to surrender, and there is a good chance you can ask for more cities in the peace treaty.

I like to negotiate for the cities with the lowest population and the worst location in peace treaties. I will then try to sell those cities to other civs, if I can't sell them I will simply give it to them as a gift. They will usualy burn them which is great because gets rid of the city without your happines being affected.
