Council is the main way to get beakers before we can build a library and raise a scientist. But I think it’s a bit odd to give 5 beakers for every population growth.
The most efficient way will be working some production-rich but food-poor tiles, to rush a council and then enjoy the growth and beakers at the same time.
But if there are no such tiles, especially for tradition which is short of production to finish the council early, it will become much less attractive to build a council for just +1 beaker per turn.
Will it be better to make the council +1 beaker from 3 pop just like the palace? And maybe have a cap of 3? It will make council still valuable if not being built first, and strengthen tradition science output a bit in early game.
