[Edi]

We would need poptype modding for that, Gandalf. Then we could get rid of the pesky types and only have decent indies. Of course, the AI would still recruit them and we'd get the faceless indie horde of <insert nation name here>.

This mod will make things more difficult for water nations that do not have amphibious troops, but I do not play them very much and the land nations get more play. Not all the indies are disabled either, you still get the good heavy infantry and cavalry, for example.
