"The Roman Empire That's Not Quite So Holy Anymore"
I had a problem like that in one version where it appears someone added a new entry to the exe without matching the number of corresponding entries in definies.txt, so game engine was reading a wrong variable for one of the things about CoT - this one i believe - #_EDEF_DESTROY_COT_THRESHOLD_, - so instead of having it be like 600 (in vanilla iirc) it was actually 250 (#_EDEF_MOVE_CAPITAL_COST,) so every time youd have a CoT with 250 trade a new would spawn near by, or something like that.
My suggestion: redownload the latest beta patch and apply it. You shouldnt get that cot spam any more (i dont have it at least).
