My indy!

Strategies and active Q&A's concerning game mechanics should be done here. (Note: this is not a general "help how do I do..." type of forum. It is strictly for strategies and game mechanics)

Yeah. I'm new. I read the rules, but if this is supposed to go into another general indy topic, feel free to do so. Thanks in advance.
Yeah. So...
1:Pick the best indy race. Large indy, attack and defense bonuses.
2:Explore pretty much your entire protection run. Sell grains at the end and build 50% farms 50% [insert troop construction building]
OOH! Now would be the time to say how to set troop production, I guess. Pick one type. Doesn't matter which. All preference. Set that to 70% and the rest to 10%. That's just to stop n00bs from stealing your land. It also helps to maximize holes.
3: Run your first run in 20s (turns). Every time you need money, sell grains.
4: Attack for land.
5: Build the minimum of farms you need to support you, the rest indy center things.
6: Indy option, in 20s.
7: Sell troops.
8: Rinse and repeat.

Be careful expecting a lot of market buying. It's kind of unpredictable here, people have never really developed a tendancy to market buy. Though if I sign up next set, I'll probably PM buy if it's cheap...

If I'm playing and I'm cashing, farming, or maging I'll be happy to buy your PM troops as long as you mark em down a little.

I buy whatever is lowest. I use camps so its very hard for an indy to compete with me. ;)

Build 100% Markets, and cast Major Heal for all your turns. Best Indy strat ever.

What about leaving all your land empty and launching dozens of failed attacks on the #1 person?

Launching failed attacks on top guy for him to reach attack limit is indeed the most uber strat but its illegal and mods wont be happy about it.
