Looks like I just rammed into your first post, and didn't see it the first time around. I was thinking about putting a screenshot battle, but independents don't really make for the best foes in the game: usually, it's a matter of rolling over them, though what does the steamrolling varies quite a lot. The best example here would be the Phoenix I think, showing how those spells deal damage to the poor attacking independents (and there is a gap around turn 5/6 in screenshots).

Thanks for reminding me about F1, as I have never really used the Nation Overview screen (my middle name is "Glutton for Punishment". Does it show?). Most reasonable players will likely make good use of it, so it should definitively be included.
