ATTACHMENT COST REWORK
- Territory Attachment cost reworked from to 30+30*AttachedTerritories*TotalAttachedTerritories to 30+10*AttachedTerritories*TotalAttachedTerritories+5*TotalAttachedTerritories^2, where AttachedTerritories is the amount of territories attached to the city and TotalAttachedTerritories is the amount of territories attached to all cities.

In practice, this means that attaching territories is cheaper for bigger cities and more expensive for small cities, with the breakeven point (where it costs the same as vanilla) starting at 1 territory when you have 1 city, 2 territory when you have 2 cities, 3 territories when you have 4 cities, and between 3 and 4 territories at 5+ cities.

ADJUSTMENTS

Fixed the Monumental Contractors bug that was making it give money and influence much bigger than it should be. This should reduce the amount of instant money and influence given by Monumental Contractors to up to a sixth of what it was before this patch.

Rushing: Swapped the Gold and Bronze era star requirements. This will make the gold star as hard to get as it was before, but the bronze star harder. (for example, if before you had to get to do 6 kills for bronze, 8 for silver and 10 for gold, for a total of 24 kills for the 3 military stars, then now you need 10 for bronze, 8 for silver and 6 for gold, for a total of 24 kills for the 3 military stars.)
