More than a weak tendency?

[LordCurlyton]

I just had an idea that I'm going to try and test out. Adding a cut off point for the money script. A requirement for the script being 10(-15) or less settlements are need for the script to give them money. This way big empires won't get tons of money, but when they start to collapse, they won't necissarily be in a unavoidable downward spiral.

Or that....sounds like a more elegant idea than the convoluted stuff I was spouting.
