[1.27c] New zone does not expand on foundation

According to manual
It works as expected if a zone is conquered.
By the way, when conquering a zone the new zone starts with emergency food ON (not sure if it is forced on conquer or the previous owner had it enabled, tbh); would be nice to have newly founded zones starting with it, too: you need at least one turn to assign a governor on foundation so if you build a zone around a private asset population will suffer 1 turn of hunger.
but on zone's foundation (both "new zone" button and the "new zone" toggle when constructing) this does not happen: new zone is just a single tile and you have to extend it manually.manual - 5.3.1 wrote: When a new Zone is founded, or a City is conquered, the newly acquired Zone takes Hexes as its territory up to a dividing line in the middle between it and its neighbouring Zones, but this can be limited as the New Zone will stop extending when it encounters an Asset of another Zone.
