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.
