Introduce 2 new mechanics:
City Population Impact and Outposts.


City Population Impact:
The cost of all boosters and plans got change.
Plans now cost (5 + Total Population (Normal/Bonus) + (Number of Node/6)) x 2
Booster now cost (10 + Total Population (Normal/Bonus) + (Number of Node/6)) / 2

In less mathematical term, the cost of plan got decrease for cities with a population of less or equal to 10, and increase once the population reach value above 10. Also, population bonus (from villages, but not other effect) count.
Example: In base game, 2 cities with 12 and 3 total population cost 15 luxuries and 40 influences points for 1st level plans
With the mod, they cost 13 luxuries and 35 influences points for 1st level plans

BUT, a single city with 26 population will now cost 18 luxury and 57 influences points, rather than 10 and 20.

Because of that changes, infected city got slightly changed :
The city don't lose all it's fortification anymore and once integrated:
Half of the infected city is added to the main city
The city don't have any effect on the empire-wide approval, and only inflict 25% of the approval penalty of a city.


Outposts:
All faction can now build out special "cities" that don't affect the empire plan much (1 population) and don't affect the approval at all.
You can build up to 1 outpost, or 2 with the Urkan Garrison Tech unlocked.
Their are 3 kind:
Trade outpost: Can only build trade related improvement. (The Road is free once unlocked)
Mining outpost: Can only build luxuries and strategics related improvement.
Military outpost: Can only build defense related improvement, special districts that act as walls and creates ships.

The first two can be transformed into a city at anytime (and a few turn wait)
Each faction start with one unlocked, and can build the other type with an era 3 tech.
Trade outpost: Wild Walker / Ardent Mages / Roving Clan / Drakken / Morgawr / Mykara
Mining outpost: Vaulter / Mezari / Forgottens / Allayi / Kapaku
Military outpost: Broken Lords / Necrophage / Cultists / Mykara


Two additional changes:
1) Razing now take 2 turn
2) City take a few turn to build up it's Militia (1/turn, except for the main city)
Both change are there to prevent cheesy tactics, and make building a new city something that need help and protection

3) Infected village now grant 1 pop to the main city.
Mykara needed the buff ^^


WARNING: New custom faction must pick it's outpost in the menu to get the free first one!
