They dont come harder but they are usually more of them and with bodyguards. At indies 6, 7 an abyssian assassin with a fire sword , carefully set on the battlefield will won against nearly any commander. At 9, if they can have 4 to 5 heavy inf as bodyguard so you need to carefully equip your assassin thus losing time to do so.

6 is a good number that makes it risky to send out your pretender alone, but doesn't make one necessary for expansion on turn 2.
6 and even 7 is not enough, Man's White bull set with some of his troup by example will still go to hunt at turn 1.

Anyway I dont think there is a good setting for independants just by playing by number ( except perhaps that anything under 6 is too small ), having the abilities to set a Independants Difficulty could have been nice, guess I will start using Gandalf Parker's randomizator next map.

Also I went to higu indies because I fear not to meet Ai soon enough to be interesting. It seems I was wrong *read next post*
