Good point, and that way at least that event will be a little more unique. It's hard to come up with 20 differant scenarios for a city to be angry, lol.

Make sure that any event that causes pop loss can't happen in the first 50 turns. Losing that 2nd pop in your capital just after getting it can be a crippling blow costing many many turns.

I was thinking of a series of Minister Koun-like events for civs with multiple leaders, like:
Girls Night Out
Req Balseaphs as Perpentach
Keelyn has burst into the palace room: "Daddy! The city of (cityname) is perfect for a little carnival that I can run!"
-Of course! (City becomes a new Blaseraph civ under Keelyn)
-Silly daughter, go play with your puppets!

The Haunted Ship
Requires Harbor
"Sire, an old, battered ship has just docked in our harbor. It seems to have no crew, and the city watch is too afraid to explore it. What should we do with the ship?
- Have our adepts sanctify the ship first, then repair it and man it.
Requires Life Mana. Player gets a free galleon.
- Just board the ship, you cowards!
Player gets a free galleon, but also a barbarian medium-level undead unit (ie. the drown) is spawned near city.
- Send our priests there, they will know how to handle it.
Requires Octopus Overlords state religion. The player gets a free galleon and a free unit of the drown.
- Burn and sink that ship. Who knows what horrid things might lurk onboard?
Nothing happens.

Hm... According to what I know of the Balseraphs, Perpentach doesn't know that Keelyn exists.
=====================================================
Citadel
Requires at least 1 recon unit within city borders.
Requires at least 1 Hill tile within city borders.
"Sire, our explorers had found an ancient underground fortress built in a hill. What do you want them to do now?
- Explore the fortress. Cut down all 'inhabitants'.
A Citadel improvement appears on the affected tile. 75% chance to spawn barbarian low-level undead units.
- Explore the fortress. Remember, this is a covert exploration. Do it our way.
Requires Council of Esus state religion. A Citadel improvement appears on the affected tile.
- Search it for any valuables, then seal the entrance. We don't want anyone else to make use of it.
Player gets 20-100 gold, and there's a chance that this event will occur again on the same tile.
- Leave it alone. We don't need it.
Nothing happens.
- Search it for any valuables, then destroy it. We don't want anyone else to make use of it.
Requires Fire Mana. Player gets 20-100 gold, and there is no chance that this event will occur again on the same tile.
You might now ask what is the last option for. Well, it's supposed to be a lesson. If something requires resources, it doesn't mean that it's any better than the other options.

can happen in any city with a Village/Town and some Forest squares:
Back to Nature
An ashen-skinned dryad has appeared in a prosperous settlement near [City]. She speaks and her voice is as the rustle of dead leaves. "I was a goddess once and this was my home; a slow season turns and I find now the home only of splintered friends pierced by iron."
Her cheek bears a single tear like a drop from a melted glacier. "Only my tears are left to me now, yet even they can curse this land or bless it. Child of flesh, will you make amends?"
* Ignore the madwoman.
All forests near City wither to Burnt Forest. Like all dead things they may return, in time.
* Evacuate the townsfolk, allow the land to return to nature.
Remove town. New Forest in square. +1
in square.
* Dismantle the buildings to construct a shrine. Dedicate the land as a sacred grove to be entered only by pilgrims.
(this choice could require FoL, or cause FoL spread in City)
-100
. Remove town. Ancient Forest in square with 0 yield. Build Temple of Leaves in City, Temple of Leaves gets +2 
.

Well that's easily remedied:
Girls Night Out
Req Balseaphs as Perpentach
A strange girl has burst into the palace room: "Daddy! The city of (cityname) is perfect for a little carnival that I can run!"
-Of course! (City becomes a new Balseraph civ under Keelyn with a Permanant Alliance)
-Silly girl, if you think that then you're crazy enough to be my daughter!
More to the point, it's just an idea for a series of events that'll give you a risky decision, reduce maintanance while losing complete control over the city, or play it safe.
LOL LOL LOL
Then you get a question 'You've just let Keelyn take over a Balseraph city. Do you wish to abandon Perpentach and play as Keepyn instead?'
Just like when Infernals/Mercurians arrive.

Hey, he's the crazy one, not me, I don't know what the heck he'd do.
Besides, when you look at it, you get the science from the city, while reducing maintainance.
