But what if the returns of a settlement were based it's size?  Guarding the settlement would stop it from growing in the short term (it would have nowhere to expand) and actually make it shrink in the long term (all of its resources would be going into "breaking out") and thus the other settlements would start offering better returns.  The larger the settlement the better the returns - and the more players required to guard it.  But by guarding it they'd end up making it shrink again, which means that if you wanted to "farm" a settlement, you'd need to do it over a short period of time before moving on.
