I think "indy 9" setting just gives a huge advantage to hyperbless and awake SC's strategies (which they already have, btw) making all other approaches almost inconsistent. I may be mistaken, but it seems so. However, it may appear to be interesting.

I had exactly the same impression, actually.

I'm not sure how a nation with a midrange site searching pretender would be able to do anything.

I'm not in love with indies at 9, I've actually not played a game like that before and threw it in as a lark. I'm not opposed to 5 as it seems to be the general preference.

Maybe 7 will be a good trade-off?

I think 5 is a nice trade off, you still get the tough indies but you also get places yuo can beat early on as well.

I never considered indies 5 tough, really. However, I don't mean to insist or something. I just think that 7 is the optimal choice for a game with no score graphs.

I would like to do 5, personally. I've always felt there was a good balance of tough and easy indies.

I agree with this sentiment. That said, I have no problem playing with indy 9's, I just think that 5's are more balanced...they can still be pretty rough.
