[1.20f] Minors spawning too close/high zone merge cost

[Nachtjager]

Started landlocked in my first Oceania game, blocked in by two extremely close minor cities. Grimsel (farmers) and Ringspire (hunters).

1) I feel like the minor cites are too close together, I was just re-reading the manual section that outlines the fact that the player can't found cities within 4 tiles of another city to avoid city spam.

2) The cost to merge Ringspire into Grimsel feels way too high. When I took the screenshot there were only 8500 people left in Ringspire after a few turns of trying to starve the population out/recruit them as colonists. Not sure what the price is based on.
