Polymath
"A transcendent genius has emerged in <random city>. "
Can provide 50% of the beaker cost of any tech (your choice, so save him for an expensive tech).
Counts as 2 GPs for starting a Golden Age.
Requires Education: only one polymath permitted per civ, per game.
Event is always "live" in every game, but probability of occurrence is low.

One of our prominent state leaders has proposed a system of guaranteed health care for all of our citizens.

I laughed hard.
None of the events in this thread have triggering conditions, appearance rates, or likelihood of popping up. It might be a good idea to include at least some event triggering conditions so we know when it will fire.

Antilogic - read the last two lines of my post above. OK, I wasn't specific about the probability of occurrence, but I did say "low".
Okay, so yours did. But on the first page, triggering conditions were sparse. It's hard to program when half the puzzle is missing!
I fixed mine!

How about a new ability for Great Prophets?
Martyrdom
Pay 1500, Destroy national wonder of your choice in city in which the Prophet is located, -5 relations with target civ.
Would make them useful for something other than GAs and settling late in the game.

Joshua destroying city walls in 7 turns wouldn't be bad, but some of those other prophets were over-powered. Moses leading his settlers across seas could be game breaking. How about those plagues? That's a lot of unhappiness and unhealthiness in civ terms. The deaths of the first-born, including both people and livestock? Ezekiel bringing the bones of dead armies back to life could be problematic, but it could be way cool graphically. Of course, I've often wished for Gideon when the enemy SoD is at my gates.

It's quite obvious the plagues wrought upon Egypt were caused after the Israeli great spy, Moses, went to Thebes and got a crudload of espionage points.
