I have an idea to make a semi-no-independents game. I cannot code it, but I think it will woek.

1. Create 2 or 3 new nations comprised of independents. These nations would have no mages or blessed troops. All they could do is recruit archers, infantry, cavalry, mundane commanders. Call these "Mundane Nations"
2. Give the nations a starting troop strength of several commanders, heavy infantry, archers, in adequate strength to represent level 5 to 9 indy starting strength.
3. Set up the nations so that they do not start with a castle.
4. Here is the part I do not know how to do. If for example you have a 100 province map and are using 10 DOM3 nations you would set up 70 of these "mundane nations" as additional opponents. That would randomize the remaining 20 provinces with recruitable independents and you would not be able to recruit the national troops of the "Mundane Nations". The starting provinces would also always be randomized if someone can figure out if this works.

The big problem that I don't know how to get around is how to setup the same nation multiple times.
