Default Re: No Indies map generator

Interesting.

I think Id call it a "Partial Indies" map generator. A No-Indies doesnt really need generating. The person creating the map can just add a no-indie version to the zip. It stays the same all the time.

But there was a definite need for partial indies. People seem to find that enjoyable. Less micro-management and better AI players. But the map gets known after a few plays so I figured it would be a server thing to provide fresh versions.

I was considering an exe also.

But Im confused about assigning indies. On my versions, I just go thru the provinces and clear them, with a percentage chance of skipping it. By not clearing a percentage of provinces I leave them to the game to assign. This allows for some small variations between play. And for the game to do its preferences as far as EA, MI, and LA ages. Did you not prefer the games assignments? Were the indie choices based on good AI player use?
