Improving Independents

I've had some suggestions for a long while. Having independents act as if it were an extra nation with regard to events like barbarian invasions and having indie provinces recruit more troops. Possibly even committing incursions against a nation that starts looking too threatening.

All excellent suggestions... currently in Dominions_2 independents are couch potatoes which commit suicide after fleeing battle. It's okay the way it is now, but any of the suggestions in this thread would definitely make them more interesting.
