=) made back everything i lost plus $150b. if yer going to mass money dont forget to cast barriers and stock wizards.

I should elaborate a bit on what happened here, as it was my cash that was taken  :P

A few weeks back I thought of what could be considered a new strategy, though it is really a variation of the normal indy strat. I would keep it to myself, but I don't think I'll ever bother using it again, as it does have some flaws, so heres how it worked:

I was a rat, and I was a passive player (Ghost of Perdition), and after a normal indy run at the start of the round, my runs consisted of the following:
1. Set troop training to 100% skiffs.
2. Scout 20 or so turns, then build 100% barracks. Repeat this stage 4 or 5 times, building up to around 3mil skiffs.
3. Demolish some barracks and build 33% of land on camps.
4. Sell maximum skiffs on mercs.
5. Sell maximum of remaining skiffs on market.

I then set training to 100% of another troop type, usually stoats (changing troop types was necessary because after selling maximum of one type on mercs, it would take a few hours before maximum could be sold again). Then I would return to 100% barracks and repeat all stages, selling all of the stoats I made at the end of that 100 or so turns... And so on, for weasels and rats.

Because I was selling almost all of the troops I made often, costs were kept to a minimum, and the cash was building up fast.
I decided to play passive mainly because I wanted to cut down on playing time (runs took about 5-10minutes), and also because I hoped no one would steal from a passive player (and no one had used a single leader mission against me until Wha (Zep)), and therefore I wouldn't have to worry about keeping a leader defence.

By the time Zep stole all my cash I was up to 220 billion cash, using a passive indy rat strat :D ....Though I'd gotten a bit lazy and didn't even have defences raised  :P, not that would have made a difference except to the time and turns he needed to spend stealing it all.

Surprisingly I'm not even too angry at him lol, it was cool to try out a strat which I don't think anyone has tried before (as far as I know). Thanks to people who people who bought my troops off the market, Sev espescially, along with Typhon and a few others.

Dissapointingly I think my 200bil cash was all lost when Zep was killed once again, but it may be worth people smashing his team mate Jaturungkabart to see if any was sent his way.

That's a pretty cool strat Marell - I have some ideas for that if you catch me on msn ^_^
