The formula that is used to calculate how much it costs to build 1 acre was changed from
3*land+1500
which is a linear formula, to
3*(max(1,land-1500)^1.05)+1500
on 2013-04-06 (http://www.earthempires.com/...nges-23941?t=1376061607). This is a polynomial formula (not exponential, but they both mean the same thing to most people). This was subsequently reduced to
3*(max(1,land-750)^1.03)+1500
later on 2013-08-06 (http://www.earthempires.com/...sets-25801?t=1382991109), which is cheaper, but still significantly more expensive than the original costs.
