I thought about this, but it seems unfair to the other factions. Normally, I'll be spending a long time waiting for my debt to recover--time that they have to build their strength and expand. Suddenly offsetting that debt takes away the time the AI has to increase its power. Yeah, it's boring to sit there and end turn after turn, but I think of it as being that I'm supposed to be X many years behind the other factions; Rome is supposed to be strong long before, say, the Casse or Sweboz are, so it's only fair to give them the time to get there.

Cheers.
