What is an ideal society that will not crash ?

There are cycles of civilization ( look one post previous to this for description ), the really bad part is the crash, so at what point do you try and stop the cycle ?

Complex civilizations do have very good points, but they also are very fragile, they are the last step before the crash.

Farming villages are far from the collapse point but offer little high technology, and that makes some things lots harder.

It likely all comes down to your trade network size, the bigger your trade network, the better technology you will have, the bigger your trade network, the more likely it is to either get control of everyone or to fail.

if you are a farm village and your neighbors decide that they want to take your area, then you may not have the resources to defend yourself...

the right answer may be a moving target... ideas anyone ?
