New to Dom world

When learning Dominions 2 I recommend turning UP the independent setting. The default of 3 will frustrate you. It lets the AI rush you too soon. A setting of 5 or 6 will give you an advantage. You are more likely to make logical choices of who to attack while the AI gets the tail kicked trying to take on the wrong province too soon.

That's been changed to be the default setting in Dom3 as well, so using it in DomII games will help you to get into Dom3 more easily.
