First is micromanagement or the requirement to do so. Also, information tools that identify problem places are not available to allow for better micromanagement. This might include unhappy people or pollution or a tile being loss to one city that had 10 spt to another city that produced 12 spt.

Government progression, corruption, ethnicity of a city, corruption reduction through tech should all be revisited and revamped.

Culture flipping should be revisited and revamped. Losing 50 units to a city flipping does not make sense. disallowing 50 units to heal until the city is brought in-line does. Culture flipping to a civ that is currently at war with you does not make sense. Also losing your units within the city does not make sense.

It does make sense in a way... Think of it as a Resistence Movement. Although, I do agree with losing 50 units...

It'd be a simple matter of changing the number of troops needed to stop a city flipping from 200,000,000 to, say, 4 plus the city size. Either that or ejecting them instead of destroying them. That a single damaged column of tanks can take a size 29 city with two million resistors in without trouble, yet a rebelling city of 15,000 civilians can annihilate 30 Mechanised Infantry divisions where their entire nation's army had failed is a little odd.
