Policies of Metropolis

Inspired by Ophidy's "Policy Cards - Cosmopolitan Cities" mod, I've expanded some of the policies regarding population so that more populous cities have appropriate bonuses in each era. Values have not been precisely balanced and potential bugs have yet to be worked out. If you find any bugs, please paste the contents of the log file associated with the bug into the online clipboard and leave a link to the online clipboard in the comments section (nugine pastebin is recommended, with the language set to plain text and the expiration time set to 30 days), otherwise all bugs will not be fixed. In particular, if it's an effect that doesn't work or a localization bug, you don't have to follow the procedure above, just raise it in the discussion forum.

This mod adds a total of 8 wildcard slots for policy cards unlocked by "State Workforce", "Political Philosophy", "Feudalism", "Humanism", "Urbanization", "Ideology", "Cold War", and "Globalization" civics, with each policy card replacing the one from the previous era except for the one unlocked by "Urbanization". These cards give a bonus to City Citizen Output, Housing, and Amenities when the number of Specialized Areas within the city is greater than or equal to the number required by the policy card. In particular, when "State Workforce" civic is completed, there is normally no wildcard slot to place the corresponding policy card for that civic, but for the purpose of achieving the "appropriate bonus for each era", the policy card is still kept in place to meet the need for placing it in special cases.

Below are the names, unlock conditions, and specific effects of the Policy Cards:
1. Township (unlocked by "State Workforce" civic): +2 Food, +3 Faith and +3 Production per citizen to all cities with at least 2 specialty districts.
2. Early Towns (unlocked by "Political Philosophy" civic): +3 Food, +4 Gold, +4 Faith and +4 Production per citizen and +3 Amenities to all cities with at least 3 specialty districts.
