Financial Scripts - Broken?

[smitty]

In my Byzantine Early Era Campaign, there are five factions (I can't remember specifically which) that have unrivalled financial growth. They have more money than either France or me, and we are the two largest empires at 17 territories. What aroused my suspicion is that all five of these factions have the exact same amount of money topping off at 300,000 at the moment. On the factions' financial screen with each faction's line showing all five have a linear line beginning from turn 1 up to now (turn 38) with no dips or anything. This perhaps should go in the bugs thread, but has anybody else seen this? Also, I'm not starting over to fix it. I'll just face filthy rich empires when I get there.

I got used to this and really have nothing against this feature.

Giving AI insane amounts of money is the only way to ensure that AI will do something to compete with the player.

You don't give them that cash and they are bankrupt all the time and your game is boring...

The weird part is that only 5 factions have this money glitch. The rest are functioning fine. Another strange thing is that the factions don't seem to share any desperate standings in common, as in none of them are down to their last settlement (or even 2 or 3 settlements) yet.
