I have seen them increase from one turn to another by as much as 20, with indies set at 5 and 7. I have also seen the strength vary even when left at the default of 3. The higher you set the indy level the greater the chance for increases, is what I've observed, and some of those increases can be shockingly large.

The percieved increase is either from inaccurate scout reports or soul contracts, indies do not increase, and any losses they incur are permanent.

Scout reports can be off by 50% downwards and 100% upwards.
