        Civ2 certainly had this.  Cities with large unhappy populations,
near another tribe's cities which were happy, would "become envious of" the

        This is modelled currently by the automatic destruction of
Temples/Cathedrals when a city is taken over.  The time it takes you to
rebuild those improvements represents in some part the attitude conversion
time.

        Something should be done.  Whether it's more like the Civ2 model or
yours, I don't have a strong opinion.
