The "a child that will bring peace to the world event" has an option that I think is a mistake. +1 Health and Happiness for murdering every child born in the city for the next 2 years? That doesn't seem right. Giving the children "extra care" does the same thing (except lowers the Armageddon counter).
Now don't get me wrong, taken care of babies is no fun, but I think if I were a parent I would not be happy about the King's Men coming to take my child, never to be seen again. Seems like the kind of thing that would harbor a permanent resentment amongst the populous - as in permanent unhappiness.
It also seems like the kind of thing destined to fail. How many stories are there about children who's birth was foretold by prophesy, who's death was ordered but unsuccessfully carried out? Jesus is far from the first. This has great potential for a chain event.
