Nobody else made a topic. So here is one!
My question is, is anybody willing to divulge past strats that worked well?
wildcat has a fun one that involves alternating loyalty runs and then building a ton of tents to stack up a huge army. If you think you can defend, cities make your production go through the roof as well as rasing merc sell prices. It's not as powerful as traditional indy or leader, but it's very versatile.
I can give you more specific details over msn if you care to add me

EDIT: oops, thought this was in relation to the scholar clan, didnt read context of hald land round
Wildcat is actually an excellent half land strat - half tents half huts gives you good all around defense. The only problem is loyalty production.
Don't forget to demo huts when you pressgang, it takes loyalty cost way down.
Sounds like something to try.
