It's possible to use the worst status from turn begin and now. So when
the city was unhappy at the begin of the turn twitching wouldn't
help.

And i think this status for a city would be needed for the civilwar
calculation too. (There is twitching possible) Max Lux when you enemy is
trying to get your cap.
