Emperor Giulio
King
I think it would make for an interesting scenario if clusters of city-states, united and formed a new rival civilization during the course of the game. Real life situations of this happening are Germany, and Italy, during the 19th century. Perhaps a militaristic city-state could decide to go on a campaign to unify a cluster of city-states in order to spawn a new rival. With the reintroduction of religion, perhaps this could also play a part in inspiring unification. Or perhaps city-states that are similar in some way could aspire to unite, please feel free to add to this.
Moreover, with the introduction of religion, this could help to play a role in session from an empire. Imagine a religion from a foreign power is prevalent within your empire, and they decide to break away and form a new city-state. A real life example could be Yugoslavia, whose division was facilitated in part by religious differences.
Further, say a civilization is being run poorly, (i.e. high unhappiness, and financial turmoil) it would be interesting to see it fragment into smaller states. This should especially be the case for occupied-cities. A real life example of this would be the USSR, after the fall of the communist government.
Let me know what you think.
