Squalor in Rome: Total War

[Kassatka]

Squalor really pisses me off. It completely prevents me from playing normally at high difficulty levels, and even at medium difficulty level, I often have to cheat and add buildings that improve public order. I am glad that this problem was solved in Remaster by means of new campaign settings. It is very disappointing that in addition to the new mechanics of squalor, there is also a new mechanic for distributing slaves among settlements, when slaves are distributed evenly across all settlements, and not just among those in which the governor sits. I would like to play with the new squalor mechanic in Remaster, but with the old slave distribution mechanic.

It's not that hard to control:

Post #22 has screenshots to show how well ZPG works. That's vanilla RTW---no modifications, and no keyboard cheats. Can be done with nearly any faction with a 95+% rate of success. Best part is, once ZPG is attained, no governor is required---saving your general from acquiring all those nasty traits that come from fat-and-lazy city living...
