Who people are.

[Arthus]

I never said I was an indier, never done it before. and I'm storing some stuff yes, hoping they will sell for cash. I said I was playing to be annoying, not to net.

[Ruddertail]

Not necessarily. If you can force people to fail attacks on you, people will be able to take less land, if you're not clanned. Further, again, if you have a harder time getting land, you'll have to keep more troops out. You won't be able to store 80% of your army, you'll be able to store 30% or so, because the rest you'll need to be able to break your targets.

For example, I've got 5800 T3. If Arty wants to break me in those, he needs 6000 + troops. And I'm storing, and splitting off to build T1, as well as a few T2 and T4.

Not saying it'll kill market storing. But it may well shrink it.

What I was saying to Arty was that if he was running indy and not storing, it was a pretty poor job of indy...

Arty - If you run a strat poorly, you won't be very annoying. Just pathetic.

[Arthus]

Well I've stored like, um, 8 galleons and a few of T1 that sold. and I'm not a terrible indy, but any pointers would be good, *laughs*.

That's me so far. Feel free to buy my incredibly overpriced troops :*laughs*:

Pointers:

• forget about dens, only build enough to do missions. </li>
• heavier troops eat less food AND give more net/barrack/turn. less food eating means more smithies</li>
• store often to keep costs down - I store after every time I heal</li>
• pick one troop type to mass for a run, changing each run. </li>
• sell max of all 3 types you aren't massing before you start your run on the bazaar</li>
• spend the first 350 turns attacking and building. heal often.</li>
• try not to attack in the troop you are massing unless you have to. </li>
• if you run out of cash, sell some of your massed army (not all, or you shut the bazaar down)</li>
• spend the last 150 turns switching between troop types for 20 turns at a time until you have an effective defense. change foragers to dens here if you want leader defense.</li>

Now: are you in or out about the message I sent you?

[Arthus]

Alright, so pretty much what I thought to do. And send me more information on your idea.

[Shadow I]

Will do
