Default Partial_anos (a Partial Independents map)

Continuing in the Daily Generation series, the Partial_anos map is a version of the Parganos.map that came with the game.

For those who feel that a No Independents map helps the AI play better, and cuts micromanagement in late game. But maybe they dont want the map to be completely empty of recruitable independents.

Every day my server will run a script that will create a new version of Partial_anos wiping out the recruitable indepts in provinces, but skipping about 1 in every 10. The provinces that can have independents do not get any assigned. So every time you play the map it might put different indepts in that province. But the provinces that get indepts would be the same.

So when you play it enough times to start knowing where the indepts are going to be, then just download a new one from the server. It will be a new generation every day.

I dont have it added to my maps page yet. But for now you can get it here...

OK of the people who downloaded this map, Id like some feedback. Even one word.
Did it work? Did it seem to accomplish its mission? What benefits? what drawbacks?
Was the explanation of it unclear?

Its supposed to create less micromanagement, and smarter AIs. And of course extended replayability for an old map.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but how do you use it? Do I have to start a multiplayer game with me as the only player? (I've never played multi before).

You can use it like any map. Its not a scenario.
It works for any era, multiplayer or solo play.
