I haven't read through anything and common events could easily be thought up twice, well at least similar.
Also sorry about the formating and the flavor text.
Feel free to tune any of the below.
Quicksand
Requirements: only on desert tiles, only affects units without water walking promotion
Chance of event occurring:
Desert tile: 3%
Desert tile adjacent to river/oasis/flood plains: 8%
(if only single unit in stack)
Whilst crossing the desert you feel the ground give way beneath you. Its quicksand!!!
(if forest/jungle or oasis in adjacent tile)
You can see a branch almost in your reach, you struggle to get hold of it to escape.
(if no adjacent forest/jungle or oasis)
With nothing in sight to assist your struggle against the sand, you are slowly pulled down deeper.
(if multiple units in stack)
Whilst crossing the desert you feel the ground give way beneath you. Its quicksand!!!
(if forest/jungle or oasis in adjacent tile)
With the assistance of your comrades you attempt to escape the quicksand.
(if no adjacent forest/jungle or oasis)
Your comrades desperately try to assist you.

I think a Ranger would be okay.
Or how about:
Nature's Call requires ranger and Fellowship of the Leave state religion
A ranger requests to make a trek into the wilderness
1. Forbid him to go.
80% chance nothing happens
20% chance lose Ranger (he leaves anyway)
2. Allow him to go (Ranger will be busy for 5 turns)
40% chance lose Ranger
30% chance he returns with an animal companion (random)
20% chance he returns with Subdue Beast promotion
10% chance he returns with Sorcery and Nature I promotions
3. (Requires Scout or Hunter) Encourage him to take a companion (both units busy for 5 turns)
40% chance they return with animal companions (random 2 animal units)
20% chance they return with Subdue Animal and Subdue Beast promotions
20% chance they return with Sorcery and Nature I promotions
20% lose both units
In addition to the above outcome, there is a flat 40% chance that the companion Scout/Hunter will be upgraded to a Ranger for free

Ok, I think I thought of couple minor enough to fit the requirements.
Imprudent Lumberjacks:
req. Lumbermill improvement.
Lumberjacks working in a mill near [name of nearest city] have been working at an unsustainable rate. They are dangerously close to clearing the entire forest, and will soon destroy their own livelihoods.
1. no extra requirements
Leave them to do what they want. If they are foolish enough to work themselves out of job, let them.
Lumbermill and forest both destroyed. +1 unhappiness in FoL cities.)
2. requires other forested plot with no improvement in city radius.
This industry is vital to our economy. Help them finish up where they are and then help them relocate to their operation to a more heavily forested area where they will be more profitable.
Lose lumbermill and forest, but gain another lumbermill on another forested tile in the city radius. Gain +25 hammers. Lose 40 gold. +2 unhappiness in FoL cities. -1 relations with FoL civs.
3 no extra requirements
We need to make sure that they are more responsible in the future, for their own good and the good of the empire. Close down the mill, and hire the lumberjacks to plant new trees in the place of those they felled.
lose 40 gold. Lumbermill destroyed, forest replaced with new forest. +1 happiness in FoL cities.
4. Requires FoL State religion
This is an outrage! Why did we ever allow the mass destruction of our sacred forest? Destroy this mill, destroy all mills! Hang these infidels from the highest trees that have escaped their accursed axes, and bury each part of their bodies at the roots of a different sapling to rot and nourish new life. Guard these trees as they grow into adulthood, protecting them as a new sacred grove. This will be an everlasting monument to what happens to those who show such blatant disrespect for the woods. I only fear that allowing their remains to stay here does them too high and honor...
Loose 300 gold. All lumbermills in your territory are destroyed. The plot reverts to new forest, and gains +1 gold (I would prefer to have it create a forest preserve here, but you haven't implemented them like I did in my modmod). +2 happiness in all FoL cities of your empire, +1 relations with civs running the guardian of nature civic.

Here is an idea for an event to help out those pesky forest starts.
Only happens in the first 100 turns (3% chance per unimproved forest tile in starting cross). May repeat on different tiles up to 3 times with lower odds (2% chance the second time...1% the third time).
Bountiful forest:
Hunter gatherers have discovered delicious nuts and berries in the forest. Animals seem to like them too.
1. Great, harvest the nuts and berries for our citizens (+1 food, +1 commerce on the plot)
2. <requires hunting> Build a camp and see what kind of animals they attract
40% chance (builds a camp, fur resource appears)
40% chance (builds a camp, deer resource appears)
20% chance (friendly "subdued" gorilla appears)
3. Bah, who cares about fruits and nuts. Tell those saps to work harder!!! (+1 production on the forest plot, +1 unhappy for 10 turns)
edit: Perhaps 3% chance per unimproved forest tile being worked would be better. This would give a 9% chance that the event would occur for thee tiles, 12% chance for four tiles, etc. What I mean by unimproved is that it will only count forest tiles that do not have improvements (i.e. camps or any improvements built by elven workers). This seems like a good way to calculate it.
Let's say you have 5 forest tiles that you are working (because there are no other valuable tiles to work). This would give you a 15% chance each turn to have one of the forest tiles spawn this event. Once the event occurs it would drop to a 10% chance (8% if you build a camp on the affected forest).

This event can happen as soon as a city has 3 more unhealthy points than health points.

Not sure if you can limit your selection of answers to an event based on your religion. Or maybe make selections require that you are NOT a certain specific religion. But the WEAKNESS needs to be highlighted in each religion as well as the strengths IMO.
All of these events should require an AC of at least 1 if no other minimum is listed, to prevent them from being included in a game with the AC turned off.
Most likely I have quite a few of the AC shifts far too strong, I just like a very dynamic and fast changing game. As always, tweak as neccessary.
Events for Shifting the AC:
Rebellion (Order > AV)
Judgement (Empyrean > OO)
Economy (RoK > FoL)
Deal (AV > RoK)
Crime (Esus > Empyrean)
Prophecy (OO > Esus)
Inspiration (FoL > Order)

I've been trying to come up with events that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the religions as well... though not neccesarily involving the AC. Limiting the selection based on religions present or state religion certainly seems doable with python, but I'm still sucking with figuring out what all the options are with python (man, I really suck
).Here's the basics of the event I've been fiddling with (based on the carnival crime idea I have in the little set of events I've done).
Carnival Crime
Requirements: A city with a carnival and at least 10% crime rate. Won't trigger on Balseraph players.
Trigger Text: Several angry citizens in %s2_city have complained that the carnival games and displays are rigged or downright fraudulent. They are demanding immediate action and reimbursement.
Options:
1) That carnival is vital to keeping the masses appeased, but we should compensate those who have lost money from the scammers.
...[canApply: If city doesn't have Ratcatchers, and not Empyrean state religion]
...[do: +5 crime, -25 gold]
2) Then shut it down! They're probably Balseraph spies anyway.
...[canApply: If city doesn't have Ratcatchers, and not Empyrean state religion]
...[do: -10 crime, destroy the carnival]
3) The Ratcatcher's Guild is too strong in the city to involve ourself in this matter.
...[canApply: If city has Ratcatchers guild, and not Empyrean state religion]
...[do: +5 crime, +2 whip unhappy]
4) Temporarily shut down the carnival, and proceed with a fair and thorough investigation of the allegations. If any are found to be guilty, make note of it, but leave them to their job. Return to the carnival occasionally to follow-up on their status.
...[canApply: If Empyrean state religion]
...[do: +5 crime, +1 whip unhappy, +1 unhappy from carnival, -2 gold from carnival]
5) Investigate the allegations. If they're found to be true, take the shoddy scammers aside and teach them how to maximize their profits without being so obvious about it. Naturally, demand a cut off the top of future profits.
...[canApply: If Esus state religion]
...[do: +2 gold from carnival]
Something like that... I might try to come up with a few more ideas highlighting the religion strengths/weaknesses if I can pull myself away from the frustrating, but strangely satisfying, task of figuring out python ;-)
[edit] It looks like it's working, with the minor exception of changing the +maintenance from the carnival to -gold (since I haven't figured out the python to do maintenance yet). See attached =)

Yeah I didn't include all of the Guilds in my options, even though I know that they are meant to shift your strengths/weaknesses in Events as well (especially Ratcatcher). I didn't have that info readily available and I wanted to provide mainly ideas for the new AC control functions
I like the setup on that one though, 2 general options to choose between, but 3 options you can wind up stuck with

These are definitely starting to fall away from the "Common Events" topic of the thread, but a couple more ideas of events highlighting religious strengths and weaknesses:
Captured Assassin
Required: contact with other civ, some suitable mid-gamish tech
Trigger Text: A man was capture trying to enter your sleeping chambers through a window during the night. The guards report that he had a poisoned blade, and possessed items that seem to link him to [another civilization].
Options:
