needed)

After turn 100, sell the max number of jets possible on the public market.
Once your jets sell, switch to 65% jets, 35% turrets. At the end of
each day's turns sell as much of each as you can so you will have cash
to build the next day.
explore for land until you have 1k acres of land... and then start landgrabbing...
a good idea would be to save your scores sheets from when you are 150k
nw until you are 220k nw... and landgrab off of those sheets.
Once you hit about 500k nw, switch to 60% jets, 30% turets, 5% tanks
and 5% spies... don't produce troops... just make an odd turn of 100% troops
on your sale turn each day, leave your production at this level for the
reset of the game.
the basic formula for early game landgrabing goes as follows, but is
more than highly accurate when you have your offensive ally slots filled:
[(target nw) - (target land*$165)]1.1
That will give you a very liberal estimation of their max TU's
Send in 1.1x their TU's and you should win just about every land grab
up until about 700k nw...
After that try to get spy ops on all of your landgrabs.
At this point do 6 to 7 people that have a little more than 1/3 of your
nw with alot of land. You will get 5% of their land if they are 1/3+ your
nw, but only 3% of their land if they are below 1/3 your nw.
Another way to landgrab is to hit 10 to 12 people that are 1/6 and less
your nw. This yields the same land.
Continue to Expand by landgrabbing and building on the first 3/4 of
your turns and then building cs for the last 1/4 of your turns, until you
get a bpt of 100 or so.
Attempt to landgrab at 1.5k to 2k acres a day.
**************
Rules for Running a Successful Indy Strat.
#1) No matter what! you must sell as many turrets and jets as you can
on the public market.
#2) Only build Construction Sites and Industrial Complexes
#3) Tear down all buildings from landgrabs that are not industrial complexes
#4) All Indies lose money after about $1mil nw, SO DO NOT FREAK OUT
ABOUT LOSING INCOME!%
#5) Buy industrial tech with all excess cash until you have 125% industrial
tech.
#6) Once your indy tech is up to 125%, buy equal amounts of Business
and Residential tech until those techs are up to 150%
#7) Then buy weapons tech until it is up to 130%
#8) Then buy SDI until it is up to 80%
To clarify tech buying, indy tech must always be over 125%, and then
work on getting 150% business and residential techs, if indy tech falls
during that, then buy indy tech until it is 125% again, so forth. The techs
are listed in priority of buying.
I am enclosing a couple of examples of good Indy nations for you to
paruse though.
Notice how the Apol 4-16 has ONLY industrial complexes and construction
sitse?
That is how an indy nation SHOULD look.
Noticed how nounusedland is almost all industrial complexes. The enterprize
and residential zones are only there because they are from a VERY recent
landgrab and weren't worth tearing down with so few turns to build with.
The farms were because food prices were extremely high at that point
($7), and it is then the players choice on wheather or not to build farms.
The oil rigs are also preferance.
The unused land is a good sign because the player was expanding rapidly
and gaining nw well.
....
I haven't made an endgame for this strat because I feel there are more
than enough end game information found on this board .
Also, this strat can be used as an indy startup for Cashers, and Farmers...
I wouldn't suggest this for techers however , because they should not go commie, and instead should focus more heavily on CS in the start of their games.
