Mod: Better Independents v2.1

[Snacktime]

So having become weary of the AI recruiting hordes of ridiculous independents, I added this mod. But it doesn't seem to work right for me. No matter which of the three mods I use, none of the independents in the territory are available at all, either at the amped up gold and resource costs or otherwise. The recruiting page is just empty of options in all non-castle territories. What gives? I'm using version 3.23b of the game (which is the latest patch) and 2.1 of the three mods (gold/resources/both). Kinda stumped!
