ive been doing some testing recently and ive found that a bunch of cheap mages spamming blind is AMAZING vrs indies, with the back-up of 2 or 3 offensive casting higher end mages they can go against non-missle/flying indies (i tested at lvl 7 or 8 indies with maybe 10 lower end mages) without any guard, although a little gaurd is neded vrs cavalry such as knights.

just set the black sorcerers to use high damage spells like magma eruption (if they have earth boots) and the blind just makes it so much easier (they also go very well with true armies just to give you the advantage)
