[Town Essence Bonus] Town Specialisation Related Bonus For Essence, So It Is A Worthwhile Choice For High Essence Cities.

from Elemental Forums

Along with the boosted enchantments for Fortress cities, it would be great if Towns got some sort of extra bonus for essence, perhaps extra food or food for the entire empire.  It doesn't necessarily have to be huge, just enough so there is a tough choice between Town, Fortress and Conclave for high essence cities.

I think that there is already a city enchantment that gives one grain. 

But I see where you are going - you would like a spell that is extra useful on towns, the way that inspiration is great for conclaves, and the auras for fortresses.

I do not know whether it is possible with the existing engine, but this could work: Preservation: Increases the faction food bonus from this city by 20% per essence.

So when you build a butcher in a town with 3 essence, every city in the faction will get 32 extra food per grain, instead of 20.

There are actually 2 food-boosting enchantments.  One gives +1 grain, the other +25% food.  Just for reference.

Yeah, I do know that.  My primary purpose in suggesting some sort of Essence bonus for Towns and Fortresses is so that it is not an automatic decision to make a 2 or 3 primary essence city into a Conclave, which is pretty much a no-brainer right now.
