The game does not have a lot of events that relate to crime, dissent, or social movements. In reality, such events are extremely important on the development of humanity and should be included in the game as it purports to recreate human history. I have developed these ideas over the last few decades playing Civ. As with my previous proposed Events, many are based on actual events in the real world. Some of them I was able to test/use in Civ by using manual techniques and World Builder. So, I suggest the following list of additional events.
A group of bandits led by a former crusader named Robin Hood has formed in the forests near [City] the local nobles are upset because he robs from the rich to help the poor. The nobles demand action.
1) Leave the matter to the local Sheriff. Robberies increase. Lose five Gold for five turns
2) Offer a reward for information leading to Robin Hood’s capture. Several people claim the reward but none of the tips are fruitful. Pay 100x Gold.
3) Dispatch the local garrison to track him down. Robin Hood is not captured but his raids are significantly reduced. Pay 140x gold in costs.

An environmental group called ELF has arisen in [City], protesting pollution and the destruction of the environment. They have been sabotaging pollution causing industries across [Country]. Industrialists are demanding they be stopped.
