hmmm... looking in descr_settlement_mechanics.xml I assume it's something in there...

Everything is labelled SPF, SOF, or SIF... I think SPF is settlement population factor, SIF is settlement income factor, and SOF is something to do with unrest...
Yep, think you guessed correctly there - good thinking.

The O probably stands for Obedience or something...

Just a matter of lowering the max_values to a lower threshold, I think for the SPF ones.

Also, look at the bottom where it gives the max values for populations as well - citadels are capped at 18000, same as their upgrade level - going to fix that, maybe also up the max values for cities to keep unrest a bit down the easy way

All a matter of fiddling and testing, I guess. But good thing it's tweakable, now.
