Default Re: No Independents - Modded Solution

Gandalf,

True, you could assign poptypes, but then you'd have to assign indies as well and re-randomize every game, whereas the NI maps just take the braindead approach of assigning invalid poptypes to every province. It is the NI map approach I was referring to as the "map solution."

Edi,

The AI seems to recruit only small numbers of e.g. ichthyids under the resource mod, so maybe you wouldn't get a faceless indie horde if you only assigned recruitable poptypes to e.g. 15% of the map. Overall I like the modded solution better, though.
