Stability Tweaks

Stability no longer works as a currency or limiter, but represents the situation of the city more closely. Events that modify it have a bigger impact.

- Reduced stability cost from attaching territories to 1.
- Removed stability penalty from hamlets, increased production cost.
- Reduced penalty from distance to capital from 5 to 1 per territory (adjusted civics that modified it).
- Happy cities give +2 yield per working slot.

Population Tweaks

Population will generally be lower, but grow faster until food runs out, and will be more stable (thanks DoctorKain for the formula).

- Population consumes 20 food.
- Districts that use population consume food (garrison and commons).
- Units consume 20 food (distributed proportionally among cities depending on population).
- Each food surplus represents 1 point of growth.

Culture Tweaks

In my ideal HK game, you would pick an affinity per era, and then the cultures are in the map as minors that you can absorb and build their unit and quarter. Since it's a huge task not worth doing at this point, I'm "standarizing" the legacy traits to work as similar bonuses per affinity (and using it to balance yield progression).

Lots of tweaks to yields to support these changes (ongoing work).

- Tweaked adjacencies for denser city cores (districts have adjacency with different ones).
- City cap progression tweaked (every 4 pop now), lowered stability cost of territories and hamlets to 10.
- New mechanics for Garrison and Commons. They cost 1 pop, have 20 food consumption and have an upkeep of 10. One per territory, Commons more focused on influence.
- Experimenting with territory influence upkeep, will probably change it but I need to pace the influence gains more.
- Lots of minor changes to support these new mechanics.
- Wonder and legacy traits values still need to be tweaked.

Testing.
