This seems too random.

This however seems more consistent and like a good idea.  Compare to 
other games' ideas:

Civ3: culture gives cities a wider vision.  Culture increases at a 
logarithmic rate proportional to the number of "culture" buildings in 
the city, plus one.
MoM: certain improvements may increase a city's vision.
