Hestia population tech

Demeter is inherently weak right now, but Hestia’s tech that gives +10 population for every 2 farms built around a towcenter is the most powerful and toxic tech in the game (especially in long games), and it’s only a heroic-age technology, not even a mythic-age one.

This is just a minor nitpick because I like its concept and I can easily see this thing being fixed and nerfed in the long run.

For example, it could grant +1 population instead of +5 per farm, forcing players to spend five times the resources to reach the population cap with this tech. That would result in more farms being built around a Town Center, which is also much more thematic and balanced.

I agree, Demeter is quite binary right now, you survive the earlier part and some techs juts outright carry you the rest of the way. + 30 pop on a single tech is very strong.

Making it more of an investment to get the pop sounds nice imo.

I think +1 pop per farm, max 3 would be fair.
