Question: the turmoil state as a factor for bribe cost is determined
(1) at turn change or (2) real time? I guess (1). That means: if a city
is in turmoil at beginning of turn, the bribe costs are low for that turn,
no matter whether turmoil is (still) indicated on the map, for the city.

So the only thing the enemy gets to know is, that the user has resolved
the actual problem with the city, affecting the _next_ turn.

I think, for clarity, the display of turmoil should be the same for all
players (think for allies ...). But I agree that it is not a big problem.
