Default Re: Improving Independents

I, for one, have wanted more "active" and inter-active independents for quite a while now.

I think there should also be some diplomacy and limited fighting between them, and maybe they could even move into player-controlled provinces if they're a particularly violent breed or if you give them enough of a reason to.

They've signed a peace treaty due to the existance of a common foe [you]. Hah.

Seriously, though, if there was a diplomacy system implemented for them, with some natural bonuses and penalties to different races, it could work really good. Some independent provinces allowed fleeing neighbours to enter, others didn't.

you'd need to establish independence as a bunch of CPU players almost.
Which I wouldn't mind at all, although most of this will probably have to wait til Dominions IV.
