Hey, do you guys find yourselves writing alot? I seem to have to.
It ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Nope. I had more than 90% of my land in Huts, so I produced about 5 mil loyalty a turn.

The more huts you have, the more runes you produce. The higher % of huts you have, the better your hawk loot yeilds, and the better you ratio...

Ok so is this just a strategy where you attack and then lose it the next day over and over or do you ever do anything to get the big networth?

For getting net as a hawker, I recamend looting a lot. Then, you store about 20 Bil on the stock market as a emergency fund. After that, buy as many troops as you can each run, and store them on the clan market. Repeat for the entierty of the round. The day before the round ends, pull all your troops off the clan market. Take your money from this run, and your emergency fund, and buy out the bazzar and public market. Make sure you you pull your troops off the market BEFORE you buy more. This way, you will in most cases pay a smaller penalty for removing troops then if you pull them after you buy your new troops, because your net will be lower when you pull your troops.

Market storage with hawks is redundant somewhat. Look, you're making so much cash, why bother? Be like windy and sell pvtmarket, buy again. market storing gives you a similar loss now, and your pvtmarket just sits idle. Stocks with the cash, why not?

As for hawk battle, the hawk regain rate has been lowered, and I really don't know why people bother on a daily basis when you can get several mil hares/otters from the industrial people for less effort.

You can be adventurous and have 60% huts when attacking. It's fine. Do not leave this overnight, or you'll come back to heavy losses. Don't use this while doing missions, it'll reduce your yield. Don't do this while gaining runes, POSSIBLY, I'm not sure if rune gain has a huts or huts/land modifier.

Hawk scout is good when your ratio is poor to begin with. Just make sure you actually get use of your own gained land.

Seppuku is something you can use daily to minimize costs if going guardless. Use it after pvtmarket max sell. At the beginning of your run, after offense and when you've been overhit by everyone, it's not much loss for decent cost reduction.

Loot with an ideal ratio is insanely powerful. Forage isn't so much so, and usually, pubmarket food is cheaper by much, since forage is equivalent to paying 21 per grain or somesuch.

60/40 hut/barrack is effective, but an entirely different story, and if you switch to and from pure hawk (you'll do this a lot) at the wrong time, it hurts. Ask Urran.

And, yes, I am back.
Back. I think.

Hmm, I suppose you're right about market selling. I never thought of that...
