Dominions 6 MA Ind SIMPLIFIED

Ind is a human nation in Middle Age Dominions 6 that confuses a lot of people, and frankly can fool a lot of people into over-investing into certain parts of the nation. This is a simplified guide where I test and show EXACTLY what works for these guys, so you can just hop in and start to dominate with a human sized nation.
Please feel free to use the chapters to flick back and forth through the guide as a reference!
