Why? I don't get it. What's the benefit of the AIs in SP all having the same (indy) flag? The game still plays the same.
It's not all that significant, but if you enjoy SP with strong independents and/or SemiRand/Chaos maps having a real AI hiding behind the independent flag can be interesting because you don't expect independent flags to be a threat. Suddenly being invaded by a massive army of independents where you weren't expecting can throw off your plans. I'm currently working on some AI nations that will be somewhat stronger than the original nations for use this way. (dmg/nations/II_AI.py). I will post it into this thread when I have something. I find it most interesting to mix regular national flagged AIs and with independent flagged ones about 1:1.
