I kinda thought it was weird that with the slavery civic you can enslave your own population but but not anyone elses. I would propose to change the way slavery works in-game, by taking away the building rush aspect, and adding an enslave population option after a conquest of a city.
For example, lets say you conquer a city with a 7 pop. The capture pop-up menu would then ask you if you would like to Raze the city, or install a new Governer, or enslave the pop. If you selected enslave than you would get a set number of workers based upon the popultaion of the city you conquered.
These workers are free, but should probably have a negative efect on efficieny, like taking them slightly longer to build stuff than it would a regualr worker.
In adition to this I would propose that slave-workers can also be brought to one of your cities and then sacrificed for a certain amount of hammers...kinda the same affect as chopping a forrest.
One of the things we would have to figure out is how many slave-workers should you get per population size. I would propose, and since I play with no city razing, that you would get the number equal to that of the population of the city, minus one. In other words if you enslave a pop of 7 you would get 6 slave-workers, and leave you with a 1 pop city. Of course this could potentially give you one hell of alot of workers at oncel, so maybe this should be balanced better.
A good way to balance the issue of too many slaves would be to give them a chance to become (basiclly morph into) barabarians. Like say that after a certain amount of turns your 5 slave-workers suddenly revolt and turn into hostile warriors (or axemen or whatever). Perhaps you could make the revolt chance based upon the total number of slaves-workers in the whole country, plus the number of slave-workers within like a 5 tile area (one slave may not revolt alone but 3 may just decide to chance it). You could probably base the revolt chance on the existance and proxemity of the slaves's original country. Like say if you keep some slave-workers near the border of the country you just enslaved them from, there should be a strong chance they will revolt.
well thats all I can think of for now.
