When city is captured, use production from the state where it has been
captured, even you are able to free some tiles later.

When game is saved between arranging workers and after some moves, two
states have to be saved.

We can do it atomar, one phase make prod, next phase move the units.
But i don't like that idea, think the game will be much slower then,
because you have to work with an area two time one turn (one rearranging
working + changing production, one moving your units.

I would prefer a solution where the city gets a CM-flag where it should
try to reach the same (exact) values which the human player reached.
More is not good because there are situations where it is better to wait
with something. 

Science: old team stile, wait until teammate has researched something to
switch cheap. Slow down research that you don't obsolete some important
wonder.

gold: people are greedy ...
lux: dunno too 

production: slow down production to not build a soon obsoleted unit.
slow down prod, to wait with a wonder until you have the needed
technology.

food: Don't grow a city, because bigger you can't held it content.
Don't grow the city that it doesn't get size 2, then when a enemy
is entering it, it will be destroyed.

in all: use some tiles, because when you use them, your enemy can't use
them.
