Default Re: Special Independents

As Edi said, mods don't do this. Ballbarian's SemiRandom juices the maps up with player-made contributions, which might vary from Abysians protecting a Volcano site to a mighty Camelot guarded by King Arthur and his knights. Gandalf's maps are just random values, but can have quite interesting results. The ones I've tried have added e.g. 1 random unit as a commander into every province, and given him 5 random units as bodyguards. Anything from militia to Dragon to knight to aboleth could be the commander, and the bodyguards vary just as much. From Longbowman guarded by 5 Arch Theurg units (as opposed to commanders; the bodyguards are unable to use their magic) to a Jade Priestess guarded by 5 Gargoyles, provinces will vary from barely noticeable to interesting and then to impossibly hard, something that's just as unpassable as the Atlantic would be for a lone Abysian.
