i think it would not be any fun at all to reconquere lets say 5 cities wich 
have been conquered by barbarians 4 turns ago who now became lazy llamers. but 
what do you think about the idea that in the case a nations capital has been 
captured by an regular enemy  (not an barbarians they wont overtake an empire 
that easy) the death of the king or something like that is declared and half of 
the ramaining cities become barbarians and the player who has lost his capital 
has to manage only 1/2 of his former country ;-). this would rise the 
importance of the capital.
