Possible to adjust income based on number of settlements?

Wonder if it's possible to add some penalty for bigger empires by reducing income. For example income= income*(100-number of cities)/100. So, with 10 cities you'd have 90% income, with 30 cities 70%. Any trick would do.

Looking at the descr_settlement_mechanics.xml, only public order seems affected by distance from capital. So it doesn't seem straightforward to use such for reducing money based on empire size.

Any ideas would be welcome.

While I dont think you can modify the income directly as there are too many variables, there are several things you could do.

One would be a simple add_money script with a negative number.

Another would be to use inc_kings_ransom and reduce it every time the number of settlements owned hit a certain limit.

Or you could give traits/ancillaries that lower income.
