Re: Fun little SP
No problem.
I almost always play on NI maps because I get sick of the AI sending armies made mostly of indy troops at me. I think they play better with no indies and the SP game is more challenging as well as interesting. You can still get some cool indy troops via special sites too and finding them is even more of a bonus.
As a point of interest I actually lost that game the screenshot was from. I eventually just got swamped by hordes of Tienchi cavalry archers - they killed off all my freespawn then outnumbered and broke down my elites. That's only the second time I've ever lost in SP dominions. I'm currently working to make Ulm Reborn a little less underpowered at the suggestion of others.
And to answer your question, yes that's all you need to do to make a map NI. If you set the poptype beyond the numbers in the game (like 89, 90 etc) then the province gets defenders but no recruitables. you just need to do it for every province, or at least the ones you don't want to be able to recruit in.
