so I had created a custom faction and used the affinity of the cultists and converting villages, but i had removed the trait about razing captured cites (because i had wanted more than one city but with the appearance of the cultists.) then i started the game and converted 6 minor faction villages and gained the workers and -60 upkeep cost as you would, but then i captured 2 enemy cites and was about to capture a third when i realized that i had went from about 190 gold per turn to around 45 and i realized that the upkeep for the converted villages had transferred to my new cites but the extra workers had not. So i think that it would be good if you guys could make it so either the extra workers would be for all cites or that the upkeep was a global cost so i didn't multiply when gaining new cities

i now realized you are aware of this problem
