Brilliant Idea to make Indies More Interesting

What does it do beside add some flavor to the game? What is the actual effect on game play? Do the indie scales spread? Are they limited to their province? I'm just trying to get a handle on what you actually want to accomplish.

Seems to me this doesn't do a whole lot besides slowing down (or speeding up) a given provinces rate of change to to a nations dominion. There's nothing really wrong with that, but it doesn't seem like a whole lot to get really excited about either. Also C'tis and Caelum would appear to be most influanced by this in terms of the effects of temperature on their troops. Again, not a big deal, but seemingly a bit of a disadvantage for them (disadvantage in that its now harder for them to bend the opposite temperatures to the side they want).

Again, its a cute idea, but on the whole... it doesn't do much for me.

Well, scale effects are only half of the suggestion... and temperature scales are only 1/8 of it. Indy scales would work identically to the current magic site scales. Do you dislike those?
