Well, I´ve been whining about growth rates since RTW came out. It´s unrealistic that a settlement can outgrow itself imploding in squalor and unrest and almost a full rooster of troops is needed for garrisoning.

A series of speciall buildings could be constructed to hamper immigrants, right?! Or why not "buildable" decrees? Takes one year to build (implement) and reduces growth by x% with higher growth reduction the larger the settlement gets etc. Buildable decrees, laws etc would be a huge improvement to the game IMHO. what do you all think?
