I have so far played with only custom factions that use the patriotic trait so they can ignore the large empire penalty. Problem is that the mechanic isn't designed well in the first place since it doesn't scale with map size which makes playing on large maps hard without the trait and it also makes the trait OP. Is it possible to mod the penalty into something else?
If so then:
1. How do I do that?
2. What would you set the limit at assuming I only play on the larger map sizes?
