Look at the bottom of this post: (For my missed days.)
A new Army is being formed in Kordia. Albeit only 50 Strong, it is very disciplined. The Supreme Lord has decided they will stay in the city and guard it from any possible attacks. Made up entirely of Volunteers, unlike the first army, it is still under training.
+3 Army
(3 Agriculture, 2 Industry, 2 Science, 1 Culture, 0 Navy, 4,000 People)
(For today.)
Mathematics, Medicine, and Culture had grown quickly under the watching eye of the Supreme Lord. People now lived to 60, at most, and Elders began teaching kids about Math. Meanwhile, the Elders also invented Short Stories for how the Universe came to be, claiming that all are descended from a loving god named Tuarsk. They say he created the Universe with a wave of his hand, then molded Humanity out of the very dirt itself. He and his Demigod Servants now live beyond the Earth, and look upon us as the stars. The Supreme Lord, seeking to take advantage of this, is now claiming he is a direct descendant of Tuarsk. Already a Cult of Personality has formed around him.

+1 Science, +1 Culture
(3 Agriculture, 2 Industry, 3 Science, 2 Culture, 5 Army, 0 Navy, 4,000 People)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Cualachan Tuarssn Kualt Ruaala." One of the Soldiers said to the another at the side of the river. He was asking his Superior if they would continue on their trip. He simply nodded. A few days later, the Soldier got his wish. They waded across the stream and marched on. Soon, they arrived at the walls of a City not their own.

Having to toil around all day makes people depressed. You need Culture to give their pathetic lives some meaning.

Well, a lot of people find meaning in their jobs. But you probably still need culture to balance it out and have a less dull life, I guess?

You will have option to make happiness and unhappiness out of any 6 stat categories once Ideologies and religions kick in.

I also added the following to the IC OP:

You may also preform the following during the Classic Era (max once each):
-Enslave minor tribe: +1 Agricult, -2 Stability
-Religious Sacrifice: -1 Agricult, Can Create Major Religion

I think you get 0 by default. It decreases if you conquer other civs. You can get more with wonders.

Religion makes science go down? That doesn't make sense, since philosophy and science mostly derive from religion. (Think for example the Babylonians and Mayas with their calendar and astronomy - especially the Mayas were driven by their religion)
And why should it give you an army point?
How about -1 agriculture -1 Industry +1 culture, free religion?

Eh, still pretty OP. I'd happily trade industry for culture, and then we're just taking the same Ag/Religion trade.

Then maybe have -2 agriculture -1 Industry +1 culture?
Edit: Maybe have it be completely different, like a wonder?
