NASCAR creed from the old days of racing in the South: "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'".
That is a legitimate text edit of the descr_strat file and can be done for every faction including slave of which can cause all sorts of havoc. I've tried as a "what if". Because you can build so much so fast with the end of turn trying to keep up with it will do the same thing. Don't want it above a certain amount lower the present ceiling in the hardcode. I used it and sitll use it in RTW mods with 200 provinces and I don't have this.
I can set all the building build times in the EDB to one turn and cause.
I can max out the recruitable slots to 9 and cause it.
These are all legitimate edits and if there is a memory leak because it gets exploited my me or a modder that decides he/she wants a mod on afterburners is not our fault.

So after the rant, is there a patch in the works to address this issue? Another question, is there a fix by someone that I have not seen?

I am sorry for being late to the modding world and a lot of this probably is archived someplace but I can't find it. Please bear with me through this. If you have at your disposal threads on this site or other sites covering these issues I would much appreciate the info.
