For those of you who downloaded the mod and map from the post (like I did) you need to go to your mod folder and rename the file that says: better_independents_v2-1_gold to better_independents_v2-1_g i.e. you remove the 'old' bit of gold
Then it should work....
As far as I am aware the game does not care about the mods at all (apart from Pretender creation where there were none) except on the host machine. All the game checks is that you have the mod. It doesn't use it, unless seperate graphics are used. So you could just add an empty file called better_independents_v2-1_g.dm to the mod folder and that would work. I think
No promises though
