What's the best way?

Barring having massive amounts of land, troop/food selling is the way to go. Building large amounts of markets can also work, but then you are left with having to buy food. So yeah, sell some troops, and you can support the rest. Try market storing to lower costs at the start of your run, as well as bazzar selling to gain cash quick.

Ok couple of questions
Enough food to support or enough to profit?
How does selling troops help if you want to get a bigger army.

thanks

Depends. If you want to focas mainly on troop selling, just enough to support your army. If you want to focus on food selling, well, you'll need food to sell.

As for helping you get a bigger army, with a good indy strat you should be able to come out ahead in troop numbers at the end of your run, even though you sold down a bunch of troops at the start. Plus, troops you've sold on the public market sometimes will still be waiting for you. Especilly if you sell at really high prices.

If you do troop sell, I would recamend chosing one troop type as your attacking troop type. Sell a large (or market store amount of all other troop types, attack with the attacking type, market store/sell a large portion of these as well, and then run the rest of your turns out healing/training/foraging.

Sell everything after grabbing land. You can indy it right back. Whereas if you keep the troops while building, you'd likely sell them later for upkeep, after having supported them during your building turns.

You cant make money with alot of troops, means you cant use turns with alot of troops. and it also depends on what kind of race you are playing with.
