Flatten the pop requirement for 9 and 10 cities

I disagree completely. It should be hard to get more cities and it should not be made easier. Making things easier would ruin the challenge and fun of building cities and gaining new cities. I don't want an easy game or a click fest. I want challenges and opportunities to strategize. 

My suggestion would not change that. The part after 30 cities is unchanged and at 20+ cities there is little to no difference. It flattens the lower parts - that are currently extremely hard. So easier at around 10 cities and a bit harder after it to make up for it.

Getting the 10th city also comes with a valuable discovery. We should have to work hard to get it and not have it just handed to us. It also comes with a sense of accomplishment, and I am so looking forward to feeling like I accomplished something when I get to 10. It feels good because it is challenging and we had to work for it. 

10 cities is still hard and challenging. But why does 10 have to be extremely hard when everything after that is hard anyway?

Moving cities should also be hard. Exodus and/or teleporting needs to be a difficult choice with consequences. This a game of hard choices and paying for those choices. And it's something that makes Illy an awesome game. I don't want that to change. 

It is not going to change with my suggestions. My other suggestion is a change that you can do once per account and helps mostly newer players. On the contrary - the decision wether to use Tenaril early or not is going to be even harder.

What you see as a problem, I see as an opportunity to play the game. 

My suggestions are not a huge change to the game. They are small tweaks that would in my opinion improve the retention end enjoyable for newer and smaller players in Illyriad.
