Very good and appreciate your videos :-) 2 things for new people: 1) Check your Finances to see what is costing you the most (Clan tab, other, right lower left box) * Finance will show you all your profits and losses. If you see that your 5 parties cost you 10000, and your 1 fief and workshops only make you 5k; you obviously will be loosing money each day. Then decide what to do to fix it (i.e. disband a party, lower party wages, buy more workshops, start caravans, smith more, do a lot of quests, fight more ,etc.) 2) You mentioned garrison and ways to fix it (governors) 🙂 There is also the auto-recruit feature (clan tab, parties tab, near the bottom - you can adjust your towns garrison). Checking the cost of your current garrison could show you that its too big for your finances (you will also see it in the Finance section too.). Ex. I have left auto-recruit on with no wage limits and have had a town garrison that was 6000 a day. You need to be mindful. For my second/third fiefs, I just put auto-recruit to a max wage of 1990 - then forget about it. Unless I'm using that town/castle to help feed my personal parties, which then I leave it unlimited and accept that I might start loosing money. Note: adjusting your garrison to very low levels will result in a town with low security and other kingdoms will start to prioritize it. Ex. Your fief is near the back/far away from any fighting; but you lower your garrison that security gets very low; enemy parties will now start travelling far into your territory to capture your low security fief. 2b) Parties tab. Checking and manipulating your parties tab can help you easily adjust all your parties (army parties or fief parties) $ on one screen.
I most definitely rushed it. How could I not though? This game is amazing. I just bought it a few days ago. It's everything us "boomer" ex Age of Empires players and history nerds hoped the future of gaming would be. I'm a vassal for Sturgia, have 6 companions and 3 castles all with garrisons and I'm losing denars at a rapid pase. I don't think there was a point in this game I wasn't losing denars daily. Strange because I have a caravan and 3 workshops, but they don't seem to help. After watching this video I'll be going through everything with a fine tooth comb. Much appreciated. You got a sub.
Thanxs it is a blast and I have over 4000 hours into it and still not at times don't take my own advice. Any questions let me know, have fun and thanxs for the support
@@Flesson19 I actually do have a question. What do you reckon is the right amount of troops in a garrison? I checked the "finance" tab and it says that my garrisons, main army and mercenaries are my main expenditures. I don't remember using any mercenaries, unless that's troops bought from other kingdoms.
@@irish2772 first mercs are paid from them being hired by a kingdom so I am assuming your in someone elses kingdom, just like you get and pay tribute for being in a kingdom. Garrison is super tough, you want enough to protect your place but too many eats money and also food. I like to hold about 250-300 with a good governor. In my death campaign I use my fief as a trap to get others, I let them attack it and when my garrison is down to about 75 then I attack its very effective. It all comes down to money. A town will never pay for the garrison, another TW mistake so you need to make a ton of money to pay wages. Smithing, crafting orders, high roguery with fighting for loot, having 275 steward and companions with efficient campaigner for cheaper wages. Its all about money management to determine it. I know, not the quick answer, but Bannerlord is this way. Keep asking if you want further answers. Always here to help
@@Flesson19 oh ok. So because I'm a vassal for Sturgia, any troops I get from the king or kingdom of Sturgia are considered mercenaries? You must make one hell of a profit on caravans and workshops, because I cut my garrisons down from around 150 to 50 and all 3 still cost me around 300 denars each. On the topic of companions, can I get rid of one or multiple for a better one I find somewhere else in the world? I just watched your companion videos and I reckon that will help me with expenses.
Hahaha i knew i was doing something wrong when suddenly i became the owner of 3 castles 2 cities and many towns and now im going broke faster than i could imagine
a practical fun guide. 1. hunt down looters 2. help villages that sell wood (especialy for draught animals) 3. smithy, smithy, smithy (full on dwarf mode) 4. workshops 5. profit from the synergetic economic system youve created
I'm fairly new to the game but something I noticed quickly was that my wages decreased when I sent companions on quests with other units. Sending them off with the best, most expensive units means you're not paying those high wages. Obviously the downside is that you don't have those units on hand but during peacetime when you don't really need anything tier 4 or above because you're only fighting looters it's a good way to skimp. Maybe there's something I'm overlooking but it's seemed to help me quite a bit so far.
Don't be afraid to abdicate your kingdom if tribute payments get too high. It will eliminate tribute payments and you get to keep your land. Rebuild your army then start a kingdom again
Thanks for bringing my attention to crafting orders. I didnt even know they existed and just ignored smithing as a whole because I knew how exploitative it is.
i became a mercenary 5 mins later became a lord 10 mins later got a fief 1 second later i have no money and am currently in -2116 worth of debt anyone help?
@@ArthurBourke-d3y 2 things, get roguery to help with battle loot to sell, also stay a mercenary longer since it pays good. There are more such as using more militia than regular troops, quest a bit more early game. See if that helps
I had I lucky break and had a rebellion like 300 days in and I found if you pick where you wanna go where you wanna go and do missions like caravan ambushes and escort missions and stuff as I go and it seems to keep you enough in the positive you can spend some money on your town and pay for everything as your upgrading your town so it starts going positive instead of negative. I've also got lucky and brittania is pretty week so to may a quick 100 grand I'm gonna start a war with them since everyone else is busy fighting them too. I'm only level 20 and if I take all prisoners and loot with reward money I make about 10 grand if not more a quest.
Thing is - the part of making money is very much one of the least fun parts of the game for me. I like fighting, I like joining a kingdom, I like growing it and getting more towns and bigger armies. So yeah, all those tips work, but the last thing you say is just not congruent with it - "have fun".
the thing is now with the new loot drop just fighting is enough to make money so I dont need to smith anymore and love it, the is valid but kind of old and should be redone
thank you for this video I don't know what I'll do without you you're the best I caught up on some videos to so you're the only one I go to for information they need to hire you
The most money I have ever made was raiding caravans. Also running caravans early game is good too, however they really only reliably double your money. But quest are so good! Not only do they make you money, you dont pay their wages while they are gone
Hey guys just thought I'd pitch in a bit here. I found the following to work wonders. This will be long but I promise it'll help. 1. Always get a governor who can boost loyalty just by being of the same culture. Focusing on loyalty and keeping it above 50 will increase building speed meaning walls and tax collector are done faster 2. Always fight for your towns/castles. Often you can fight even if outnumber 3 to 1 and win. 4 to 1 depending on troop quality and 5 ton1 if lucky or very good. Meaning 200 can fight off around 1000. You do this by focusing on the gates. When they break through them you order your men to charge rather than take the beating. And they will win 9 out of 10 times and they will flank whoever is on ladders or towers. All the while your archers are still firing as the enemies on ladders are held back by your initial charge order. 3. When getting prisoners. Click the double arrow to get as many as your party can take and they will always be the best quality prisoners to ransom. 5. Do quests on the small villages or towns you own as they increase hearth which increases prosperity hence your money. 6. Get a small and fast party led by a companions to defend your territory. You can limit is expenditure and therefore it will never grow beyond what it can pay for. Doing this and setting them in defense mode will make them fight all bandits. Again this helps loyalty, security, hearths, and prosperity. The basic idea on all this is that my by fighting your own battles (you can delegate command on all forces until needing to charge) and making small time or money investments. Think of the small party idea or the loyalty buff you can cut off loads of money from your expenses.
Hope it helps out. I myself rushed through to vassalage and these things helped bring me back to speed and kept me from crashing hard during my campaign
Peopl3 say smithing is op, but in old days a good Smith was wealthier than any one else in the town. You where basicly the most important job. Even in holy books as the bible they talk about King david who was a King at day, and a blacksmith at night
@@Flesson19 what I mean is, in real life year 1094 a blacksmith from arabia who managed to make damascus swords could sell a sword for a fortune. And still today you can find videos of normal people doing blacksmith weapons for easy 50k or more in dollars. 50k dollars is 364k in My country. In northern france there was a blacksmith who made swords that science say was like lightsabers compared to the other swords in europe at that time because he cracked the code for harder steel vs their soft steel. And thanks for your videos!
Thanks for the video. regards, Paras. When playing on realistic I have a hard time in combat thats why I put into vigor and endurance rather than int and cunning
re-watched this. and understand rogury now. i thought u meant a peark at 100, but now i finally see the % up top. after watching this and better understanding all the perks i kinda want to redo my char lol. but o well day 2k she die eventually maybe i get the kid right. either way its a game, i having fun.
I'm 16.000.000 in debt... If I sell a crafted weapon and take all the money from a city, by the time a reach another city i lost more money than i earned from the previous city. In short, I can't find a way to make money faster than I lose. Any tip?
that is the problem with selling weapons. You become dependent on them. So you didnt learn to budget your money. I use roguery to make money and keep my finances in check to not go in debt. I am assuming you are paying a ton in tribute and have huge garrisons eating your cost up
@@Flesson19 no tributes only garrisons, and the cities don't generate enough income, and if I lower the number of units enemies attack them or they rebel.
@@Flesson19 I know this, but my cities are besieged all the time, even in opposite areas of the map, so without the garrison I don't have time to reach them to break the siege and they are conquered from me. I joined the empire and that's why I don't take all the cities I conquer, but every time I have to wait until I can win them in the elections. Now I also have another problem which is that the game is giving all the cities that are conquered to Achios and I don't understand if it's a bug or what. I have more than 20 cities and castles, but he is catching up with me. Another problem is that once I managed to steal the throne from Encurion, then I don't know how or why, but I was ousted and I can't take the lead of the Empire anymore.
I keep stacks of tools for the easy quests. I personally like the escort caravan. You can hit the arenas, get the better prices for goods, and same thing stacking prisoners for quests.
On the garrison needed, thats an issue imo in tersm of "security". Tbh some of theese negative factors can last to long and that they never stop, is really bad imo. Example a hideout -2... while I have witnessed a lair being cleared by defeating bandit parties, I've seen it 2 times. I have however seen the same lair at other places for over 2k days now, never bothered to remove it, since its in my intrest to keep that towns security down ehem. Then you have various other quest, like "train troops" -1 pr.. and yah its really great when you own Seonon which have 4 villages attached and each have that quest! lol.. Not to mention you can only do 1 at a time + it can take some time(I usually craft and donate alot, so they lvl up fast tbh for that one(keep the other troops in garrison). The big issue with this is for the players like he who's playstyle means your kingdome basically is at war constant, cause well even with 2-3 enemies we win too much so they see no reason(while its easier to get peace now in 1.72 Beta it still not 100% like I want, main culprit for it not being good enough, is that peace dont last enough time. 30 days is basically a joke imo, should be 100 days, maybe as low as 60). 30 days where its peace with tribute, then 60 days where there is no tribute and on day 100 war can be declared. This would also counter some snowball effects imo. Give time for those factions that "get squeezed" time to recover abit, before other factions pounce on them, AI vs AI dont do very well in 3 vs 1 (Battania gets hit by NE, WE and Vlandia in my plays alot(Sturgia for life here) So we then typically end up in wars vs Vlandia, and take the lands they took from Battania. Same in my plays with SE, who gets pounded by NE, WE, Khuzait + Aserai all the time. I digress, but yah for this factor that we cant be at our lands, and travel time from frontlines is 5-7 days 1 way takeing the time to go clear that bandit lair is really frustrating, as it ends with when you come back to frontlines, the enemy have now wiped out alot of progress.(sieges is too fast overall imo, should take longer for the AI vs AI(pretty sure that a siege that last for 2 days would be illprepared vs entrenched defenders to put it that way).
good points, one is for peace that is why I mod diplomacy covers that, these are all issues but once you have a kingdom its gets a bit easier. But when Im a vassal I want one town, thats it. And when in a kingdom, I give most away just not worth dealing with too many
@@Flesson19 I'm still strict vanilla until the game is released(even if it drives me up the walls, so I dont have other causes for bugs etc when I report and give feedback etc). I agree with the try to keep only 1 town tbh. In this play though, I actually got 2 towns and 2 castles(and they are still offering more, I vote on the others or take it, then give it away(there should be an "abstein from more land that lords could get, so that the king could take it, and once they get defecting lords, could offer it to them). I only play sandbox though, and only as vassal. I did become king once(and conquered the whole map). I do like this other strategy, find a rebelling city - conquer it! from the rebels, they will die, you got the town, however dont proclaim yourself a kingdome.. and thus the ai cant declare war on you :P And since the faction that had it is gone - they cant either :) This is a good way to get a nice town, and just watch the others wrestle for power. This way you can also influence the tide of war, and make a profit -> Follow the faction you want to support. Have tons of cows with you, and as they siege offer the cows for free(so they dont need to travel to get more food, and thus actually finish the siege..) Now you also want to stock up on all the goods you can like grain, meat etc, then the now starved town they conqured will pay really premium for your goods - profit! I wish they moved the "trade perk" endgame perk to be much lower, so you could trade with the lords in your faction when you are a vassal to one that is far from the frontlines and just keep that(and also not deal with the culture bias aswell).
Hideouts are interesting, in terms of affecting your town. Yes, it lowers security but you can compensate - you might need some kingdom policies (can get around +4 security)/governors (another ~4)/big garrisons to compensate (these are the base). So, getting more security fixes that about hideouts vs fief; but doesn't fix all the bandit parties killing your villager parties over the long term; which lowers your towns food supply and can cause the chain reaction of no food, no prosperity, no loyalty, into rebellion. I've waited a year in-game, at a far off town, and saw my daily income drop a lot. So.. This is where I liked the Improved Garrison mod. You could have garrison parties patrolling about your fief, so going back to clear hideouts was a low end priority. But, with no mods now I end up going back every so often. About the consistent war's/peace. I agree and disagree; depending on your/kingdoms relation. If there is some really bad relations and everyone hates each other, it kind-of makes sense that the other kingdom just wants to kill you over and over - so, they focus you. If you/you kingdom has good relations (marriage, quests, etc.) then I agree; its too fast.
@@tdotfun I know about the polices etc, this is more an issue for the AI overall. But as I said when you get -4 from villages and -2 from hideout at times thats abit much and needs to be fixed. We should have an option like the mod you mentioned, that we could make say a companion be a "deputy" in the area and lead a party to hunt bandits(they wouldnt act like normal companion parties, as they wouldnt be called into armies). The problem with the endless/chain wars is that it just simply tank the fun when you get into that state. 15 years of non-stop war vs 2-3 enemies at once just "isnt fun" and it also in some way kind of act as a snowball effect for your kingdome. Even if its the same 1-2 fiefs being flipped over etc, and many of the wars is short, it still usually ends when your kingdome have 1+ more fiefs. The thing the game lacks is what I've seen in some mods(I track a ton of mods, but dont play'em while in EA) war-fatigue, that your kingdome just plainly gets tired of war. And needs a breather. After all the joke of a tribute being paid, 3000-5000 denar for a kingdome is nothing. So paying that just to get some peace would be likely. Defeated kingdomes still acting like "pest-lords" raiding villages etc even if they only got the starting king clan left + some mercs at times, never ever do they siege - bring back "exile" from Warband, and if a town rebel of their starting cities - they get it and are returned. Or just make it so they are reverted to a normal clan after 100-1000 days without lands(Battania in my Play is prolly close to 1500 without land, Southern Empire close to 1000, but they still keep on declaring wars all the time on everyone). Dont get me wrong the game is awesome in so many ways, but there is some flawed mechanics still, that dont make "end game" pleasent(unless you behead ppl..)(which isnt relaly great, unless you play a ruthless type). I'm itching for the game to be released so modders can have stable mods to add in etc(but not on the expense of shipping the game premature though).
I kind of just got this game and I really jumped the gun and rushed into things and now I have a couple castles and a town and I'm bankrupt because of it. The sad part is I don't even want the fief I have 😭 I want an empire fief to start an empire faction.
You can give them back so you can vote to get relation and charm, just go to your clan tab, then fiefs, click on the fief and look at the bottom to give it way. It wont hurt you as they will want to keep giving you fiefs if you have none. I only start with 1 town and never get more as I want to concentrate on 1. Check my new player playlist, I have a lot to help ya there including 1 to help you prepare to become a kingdom leader.
@@Flesson19 Thanks for the tips! And I'll definitely check out your other videos. I'm trying to master smithing right now but my smithing is very low and everything I make is crap 😅 so I get less gold than if sold the swords I smelted
@@Flesson19 Actually, both brothers are useful! Besides being the ideal governor, you can marry big brother off to a good martial wife, who will bring her own skills. Same with little brother!
I like to set my little sister up for engineer since she can hit 330, then once my little brother is of age, then I move my big brother from party leader to governor, so my 3 group leaders are little brother and both our wives. If I get talent magnet for another party leader ill have a companion set to run it till my oldest child is rdy
@@Flesson19 Hmm, I’ve been getting a little too much into the role play: I usually marry her off to curry favor with the faction leader or a powerful noble!
I have a video explaining the new things in 1.8 to watch out for. You almost always have to be a detective or micro manage now. its why shops are making no money in .8
Sadly rushed into making my kingdom to lol, was/still loosing roughly 11k a day at the mo 😂 ended up using chests and giving myself 3mill for the meantime lol Great videos mate
@@3half6 ive got 2, the one on this channel is longer but more detailed, the one on my guides channel its much faster and goes through 13 things in under 12 minutes but not as detailed, just let me know if you need a link
Tbh you refer me to a lot of guides I know that’s more views different videos. But I wanna learn all the stuff your talking about. That’s why I found this video. But not even halfway through and you’ve told me to go to like 3 other videos it’s overwhelming. Thanks for the information though.
This is kind of old and before I really got into scripts and good editing. I am slowly redoing all the guides to make them shorter, more concise and easier to follow. I am streaming all weekend if you have questions I can answer if real time
crafting gets so old...... because of urs and others videos i decided to craft finally..........i assume cause my char is old and over lvl 31 my char is lvling very slowly crafting...... still as u said. 10-20 mins in i was making good money. hard part for me atm is geting the blueprints or parts u call them. i spent i dk 6 hours non stop crafting mostly and making 16k swords.. i use my companions and ty for the trick using family to sell them. my husband and brother both maxed out their trading cause of it that lol. yet when i sell weapons i dont get points.........
Parts tip: I find a really good way to get parts is to smelt higher tier weapons. A lot of times, you'll make back your investment if you smelt something like a falx or even a ridged saber without too much work. The more expensive, the more effective. Even if you really want the weapon, you can pretty easily get to the point that you can turn around and buy another one for yourself from the profits you made off of the unlocks.
Hey Flesson, Great video however, I have max'd out making money and can make as much as each Fief has in its bank as I tour the map so making money is no problem for me however, managing my expenses is very difficult mainly because I cannot see my itemised costs, I think because the list is so big, when I hover over the gold there is just way too much to see everything. It fills my screen Q: is there any other place I can check to see my overall accounts in the game? Here is my situation I was Battanian and then broke away and defeated the Empire. I have four factions left to completely own the map. My daily costs are ranging between $26,000-$35,000. I went around the map and reduced my Garrison to the minimum whereby there is a +2 food generation, I have 400-500 militia in each town. I have a 412 army and all my Fiefs are contibuting daily from 810 gold to 2800 gold per day and I currently have 27 towns and no castles. I have no workshops I just used Smithing to earn gold. Are these expense normal as I was making a daily income throughout the game until I defeated the empire and then I noticed my gold dropping fast. I smithed until I made 25m gold and was positive I have made more than plenty, I have 8.8m now and it is dropping fast. Any help you can give me to locate my full list of costs or give me some advice on how to manage the money I would be greatful. Cheers 🤔
there is nothing vanilla but if you mod there is 1 that groups them together so you wont sew each one separately but all shops, all caravans. It's called sorted income. Those are your only 2 choices
God I am such a noob even tho I have over 150 hours, but I'm still learning there is so much to this game couldn't figure out why I was loosing sm money until I realised the mercenaries I hired where expensive and dropped them hard 🤣
Step one. Max smithing step two buy daggers and throwing knives step three be a multi millionaire by day 50. never worry about money, dont even bother looting mobs or looking at price tags. buy day 100 have all companions with best gear in the game.
Day never: have fun. Min/maxing is such a freaking bore, I've been tired of this since RuneScape and then Skyrim threw it into overdrive and now here we are with Bannerlord and daggers/smithing is still the tired old min/max strat. I mean, go off if that's your bag, but acting like it's the only or best way to play the game is hella disingenuous and has the potential to ruin newbies' experience.
True but im a newbie been playing alittle while and ive come to find that smithing is very slept on because of the unique weapons you create which feel more personal and make the game better imo this method makes you hella money and gives you ability to make your own signature weapons you can do it in moderation
Honestly the economy of the game ruins it. People play the game to raise an army and conquer the map. No one wants to watch an hour long video on SMITHING just to conquer a castle.
thanks for this video. I haven´t played much storymode lately, but one thing i wondered was, that in some playtroughs the brother had a preassigned template of attributes and perks and in others he was a blank slate. is he now constantly blank slate so that i can play storymode again without waisting time to get to tier 1 to find out?
I thought I was taking my time just hit tier 3 after 200 days, and only have 200k but my costa are -3000 a day due to my party size, don’t know whether to abandon and start again or just change things radically after these tipa
What in the world how does that even work I am actually upset that I always make way more money then I need specially if there is war I make so much money from destroying armies it’s not even funny I have to constantly run around other town just so I can sell it because towns don’t have enough money ever ! For that reason alone I keep having to download mods to raise my troops salary and recruiting up to like 1000 denars minimum from lowest rank idk how people play this game but that was always my main issue since the beginning town never have enough money to sell everything and each sandbox late in game I am making way too much money to know what to do with! So I just keep selling everything after battles even tho i am losing 50k to 200k each trade since I always feel like I am cheating this is mostly mid to late game!
How do you fix it when you maxed out your money and it just drys up cause it keeps telling me I can’t pay all wages even though I am in the positive in financing I really don’t get it
If you have debts built up it will continue to drag on your personal funds because debts only come out of the money in your pocket, not the clan's passive income.
@@Cavemanner how do you make sure you don’t go into debt then can I have lost of workshops making almost 300 each and ever time I max out my army it just goes there my army size is 500 or 600 I see plenty of people have that size army tho
@@alexnaranjo4411 ah, yeah, you can do parties that big, sure, but you have to plan it out carefully. If you have even 100 of those troops at tier 5 you're bleeding out more than your workshops/fiefs are producing, and that's just that 100. The other 400 will be draining you on top of that, so you'll likely never even break even without maxed shops, several maxed fiefs, several caravans and even then you'd have to be lucky on top due to economic drift. It's better to just keep your party to a more reasonable size (100-200), keep ratios of higher tier units instead of blindly upgrading every troop (some tier 5s are actually worse than tier 4 right now anyway, so a tier 3/4 army is a good setup for pure offense like during wars), and watch your garrison levels (you can adjust your garrisons' wage caps in the clan screen, fiefs tab, under where your fiefs are listed). Hope that helps! Good luck, and feel free to ask any and all Bannerlord questions, I'll do my best to answer them or point you to another video that can!
@@alexnaranjo4411 oh, I forgot to add that while you maintain a party of 100-200, during wars you just recruit a bunch of lords to your Army to bolster your numbers instead of trying to pay for 500 troops yourself. If you're trying not to join a kingdom, recruit wanderers and train them in Steward, Medicine, and Scouting, and then Tactics and Riding if able. Once they're a decent level in all of those (up to you and how long you want to grind training them) then go to your clan, parties tab, and create a party with them as the leader. Make sure you have a decent number of high tier troops to give them to start, say 20-30. They'll immediately recruit lower tier troops in friendly towns to fill out their party and you can then form an army and call them into it for free and with free cohesion restoration.
picking the right workshops is key, that is 1k-2k a day there, without modding through the mid game you almost always be in the negative, take time to trade, be a merc(this one is amazing) and get a little roguery for loot to stock up
@@Flesson19 Thanks I havent played with mods and I was just moving from town to town trying to make money by trading or doing quests, and by increasing my army. After awhile I just end up going broke because the quests dont pay enough and the army gets too expensive. going broke when my army costs like 400 a cycle. I am def playing wrong.
being that you are newer I highly recommend watching my 1.7 walk through. I know its a bit long but I show you everything I do to make money fast while leveling so when its time to become a vassal or merc your prepared. I cant stress enough being a merc for awhile the pay is amazing and you can leave anytime without relations lost if you get into trouble, here is link and anymore questions just ask ruclips.net/p/PLAEwGW8ROS8pBqX3z68jRd7LzQG2DF0d8

Very good and appreciate your videos :-)
2 things for new people:
1) Check your Finances to see what is costing you the most (Clan tab, other, right lower left box)
* Finance will show you all your profits and losses. If you see that your 5 parties cost you 10000, and your 1 fief and workshops only make you 5k; you obviously will be loosing money each day. Then decide what to do to fix it (i.e. disband a party, lower party wages, buy more workshops, start caravans, smith more, do a lot of quests, fight more ,etc.)
2) You mentioned garrison and ways to fix it (governors) 🙂 There is also the auto-recruit feature (clan tab, parties tab, near the bottom - you can adjust your towns garrison). Checking the cost of your current garrison could show you that its too big for your finances (you will also see it in the Finance section too.).
Ex. I have left auto-recruit on with no wage limits and have had a town garrison that was 6000 a day. You need to be mindful. For my second/third fiefs, I just put auto-recruit to a max wage of 1990 - then forget about it. Unless I'm using that town/castle to help feed my personal parties, which then I leave it unlimited and accept that I might start loosing money.
Note: adjusting your garrison to very low levels will result in a town with low security and other kingdoms will start to prioritize it. Ex. Your fief is near the back/far away from any fighting; but you lower your garrison that security gets very low; enemy parties will now start travelling far into your territory to capture your low security fief.
2b) Parties tab. Checking and manipulating your parties tab can help you easily adjust all your parties (army parties or fief parties) $ on one screen.
I most definitely rushed it. How could I not though? This game is amazing. I just bought it a few days ago. It's everything us "boomer" ex Age of Empires players and history nerds hoped the future of gaming would be. I'm a vassal for Sturgia, have 6 companions and 3 castles all with garrisons and I'm losing denars at a rapid pase. I don't think there was a point in this game I wasn't losing denars daily. Strange because I have a caravan and 3 workshops, but they don't seem to help. After watching this video I'll be going through everything with a fine tooth comb. Much appreciated. You got a sub.
Thanxs it is a blast and I have over 4000 hours into it and still not at times don't take my own advice. Any questions let me know, have fun and thanxs for the support
@@Flesson19 I actually do have a question. What do you reckon is the right amount of troops in a garrison? I checked the "finance" tab and it says that my garrisons, main army and mercenaries are my main expenditures. I don't remember using any mercenaries, unless that's troops bought from other kingdoms.
@@irish2772 first mercs are paid from them being hired by a kingdom so I am assuming your in someone elses kingdom, just like you get and pay tribute for being in a kingdom. Garrison is super tough, you want enough to protect your place but too many eats money and also food. I like to hold about 250-300 with a good governor. In my death campaign I use my fief as a trap to get others, I let them attack it and when my garrison is down to about 75 then I attack its very effective. It all comes down to money. A town will never pay for the garrison, another TW mistake so you need to make a ton of money to pay wages. Smithing, crafting orders, high roguery with fighting for loot, having 275 steward and companions with efficient campaigner for cheaper wages. Its all about money management to determine it. I know, not the quick answer, but Bannerlord is this way. Keep asking if you want further answers. Always here to help
@@Flesson19 oh ok. So because I'm a vassal for Sturgia, any troops I get from the king or kingdom of Sturgia are considered mercenaries? You must make one hell of a profit on caravans and workshops, because I cut my garrisons down from around 150 to 50 and all 3 still cost me around 300 denars each. On the topic of companions, can I get rid of one or multiple for a better one I find somewhere else in the world? I just watched your companion videos and I reckon that will help me with expenses.
@@irish2772 no I meant sturgia has hired minor clans, they are the mercs that show up in cost. Everyone shares in their cost. Minor clans are mercs
Hahaha i knew i was doing something wrong when suddenly i became the owner of 3 castles 2 cities and many towns and now im going broke faster than i could imagine
@@Goshak5 for me its live on militia and get roguery to get my millions
@@Flesson19 that was a good tip you gave me im making bucks now $$
a practical fun guide.
1. hunt down looters
2. help villages that sell wood (especialy for draught animals)
3. smithy, smithy, smithy (full on dwarf mode)
4. workshops
5. profit from the synergetic economic system youve created
Good plan
I'm fairly new to the game but something I noticed quickly was that my wages decreased when I sent companions on quests with other units. Sending them off with the best, most expensive units means you're not paying those high wages. Obviously the downside is that you don't have those units on hand but during peacetime when you don't really need anything tier 4 or above because you're only fighting looters it's a good way to skimp. Maybe there's something I'm overlooking but it's seemed to help me quite a bit so far.
correct if not in your party, you don't pay wages. If you leave someone in town as an emissary then you don't pay either
Don't be afraid to abdicate your kingdom if tribute payments get too high. It will eliminate tribute payments and you get to keep your land. Rebuild your army then start a kingdom again
Me with my 5 blacksmith companions and 301 khan's guard army = - 4000 a day
My denars = 5 mill
Thanks for bringing my attention to crafting orders. I didnt even know they existed and just ignored smithing as a whole because I knew how exploitative it is.
Yeah it is, they have worked on it but still too easy to make money
i became a mercenary 5 mins later became a lord 10 mins later got a fief 1 second later i have no money and am currently in -2116 worth of debt anyone help?
@@ArthurBourke-d3y 2 things, get roguery to help with battle loot to sell, also stay a mercenary longer since it pays good. There are more such as using more militia than regular troops, quest a bit more early game. See if that helps
The best point you made was to start slowly no need to rush this game. You can be loaded by the time you become a vassel
I had I lucky break and had a rebellion like 300 days in and I found if you pick where you wanna go where you wanna go and do missions like caravan ambushes and escort missions and stuff as I go and it seems to keep you enough in the positive you can spend some money on your town and pay for everything as your upgrading your town so it starts going positive instead of negative. I've also got lucky and brittania is pretty week so to may a quick 100 grand I'm gonna start a war with them since everyone else is busy fighting them too. I'm only level 20 and if I take all prisoners and loot with reward money I make about 10 grand if not more a quest.
I love escort merchant caravans, especially when you sell the prisoner for the laborers, and ambush are so cool since its quick
Thing is - the part of making money is very much one of the least fun parts of the game for me.
I like fighting, I like joining a kingdom, I like growing it and getting more towns and bigger armies.
So yeah, all those tips work, but the last thing you say is just not congruent with it - "have fun".
the thing is now with the new loot drop just fighting is enough to make money so I dont need to smith anymore and love it, the is valid but kind of old and should be redone
The hero we needed with this video
thank you for this video I don't know what I'll do without you you're the best I caught up on some videos to so you're the only one I go to for information they need to hire you
The most money I have ever made was raiding caravans. Also running caravans early game is good too, however they really only reliably double your money. But quest are so good! Not only do they make you money, you dont pay their wages while they are gone
I love bandit bases/laborers quest-blunt weapons
Hey guys just thought I'd pitch in a bit here. I found the following to work wonders. This will be long but I promise it'll help.
1. Always get a governor who can boost loyalty just by being of the same culture. Focusing on loyalty and keeping it above 50 will increase building speed meaning walls and tax collector are done faster
2. Always fight for your towns/castles. Often you can fight even if outnumber 3 to 1 and win. 4 to 1 depending on troop quality and 5 ton1 if lucky or very good. Meaning 200 can fight off around 1000. You do this by focusing on the gates. When they break through them you order your men to charge rather than take the beating. And they will win 9 out of 10 times and they will flank whoever is on ladders or towers. All the while your archers are still firing as the enemies on ladders are held back by your initial charge order.
3. When getting prisoners. Click the double arrow to get as many as your party can take and they will always be the best quality prisoners to ransom.
5. Do quests on the small villages or towns you own as they increase hearth which increases prosperity hence your money.
6. Get a small and fast party led by a companions to defend your territory. You can limit is expenditure and therefore it will never grow beyond what it can pay for. Doing this and setting them in defense mode will make them fight all bandits. Again this helps loyalty, security, hearths, and prosperity.
The basic idea on all this is that my by fighting your own battles (you can delegate command on all forces until needing to charge) and making small time or money investments. Think of the small party idea or the loyalty buff you can cut off loads of money from your expenses.
good suggestions
Hope it helps out. I myself rushed through to vassalage and these things helped bring me back to speed and kept me from crashing hard during my campaign
Hope it works
Peopl3 say smithing is op, but in old days a good Smith was wealthier than any one else in the town. You where basicly the most important job. Even in holy books as the bible they talk about King david who was a King at day, and a blacksmith at night
yeah back them you could make 10X as much 10X faster
@@Flesson19 what I mean is, in real life year 1094 a blacksmith from arabia who managed to make damascus swords could sell a sword for a fortune. And still today you can find videos of normal people doing blacksmith weapons for easy 50k or more in dollars. 50k dollars is 364k in My country. In northern france there was a blacksmith who made swords that science say was like lightsabers compared to the other swords in europe at that time because he cracked the code for harder steel vs their soft steel. And thanks for your videos!
Thanks for the video. regards, Paras. When playing on realistic I have a hard time in combat thats why I put into vigor and endurance rather than int and cunning
Good point!
re-watched this. and understand rogury now. i thought u meant a peark at 100, but now i finally see the % up top. after watching this and better understanding all the perks i kinda want to redo my char lol. but o well day 2k she die eventually maybe i get the kid right. either way its a game, i having fun.
thats all that matters is have fun, any questions...ask
I'm 16.000.000 in debt... If I sell a crafted weapon and take all the money from a city, by the time a reach another city i lost more money than i earned from the previous city. In short, I can't find a way to make money faster than I lose. Any tip?
that is the problem with selling weapons. You become dependent on them. So you didnt learn to budget your money. I use roguery to make money and keep my finances in check to not go in debt. I am assuming you are paying a ton in tribute and have huge garrisons eating your cost up
@@Flesson19 no tributes only garrisons, and the cities don't generate enough income, and if I lower the number of units enemies attack them or they rebel.
@@Me-dy4yw militia are the key, they dont eat or pay wages and cant be starved out
@@Flesson19 I know this, but my cities are besieged all the time, even in opposite areas of the map, so without the garrison I don't have time to reach them to break the siege and they are conquered from me.
I joined the empire and that's why I don't take all the cities I conquer, but every time I have to wait until I can win them in the elections.
Now I also have another problem which is that the game is giving all the cities that are conquered to Achios and I don't understand if it's a bug or what. I have more than 20 cities and castles, but he is catching up with me.
Another problem is that once I managed to steal the throne from Encurion, then I don't know how or why, but I was ousted and I can't take the lead of the Empire anymore.
I keep stacks of tools for the easy quests. I personally like the escort caravan. You can hit the arenas, get the better prices for goods, and same thing stacking prisoners for quests.
I dont like escort since it can take you all over. I prefer to stay in khuzait territory till its time to become a merc
On the garrison needed, thats an issue imo in tersm of "security".
Tbh some of theese negative factors can last to long and that they never stop, is really bad imo.
Example a hideout -2... while I have witnessed a lair being cleared by defeating bandit parties, I've seen it 2 times.
I have however seen the same lair at other places for over 2k days now, never bothered to remove it, since its in my intrest to keep that towns security down ehem.
Then you have various other quest, like "train troops" -1 pr.. and yah its really great when you own Seonon which have 4 villages attached and each have that quest! lol.. Not to mention you can only do 1 at a time + it can take some time(I usually craft and donate alot, so they lvl up fast tbh for that one(keep the other troops in garrison).
The big issue with this is for the players like he who's playstyle means your kingdome basically is at war constant, cause well even with 2-3 enemies we win too much so they see no reason(while its easier to get peace now in 1.72 Beta it still not 100% like I want, main culprit for it not being good enough, is that peace dont last enough time. 30 days is basically a joke imo, should be 100 days, maybe as low as 60).
30 days where its peace with tribute, then 60 days where there is no tribute and on day 100 war can be declared.
This would also counter some snowball effects imo.
Give time for those factions that "get squeezed" time to recover abit, before other factions pounce on them, AI vs AI dont do very well in 3 vs 1 (Battania gets hit by NE, WE and Vlandia in my plays alot(Sturgia for life here) So we then typically end up in wars vs Vlandia, and take the lands they took from Battania.
Same in my plays with SE, who gets pounded by NE, WE, Khuzait + Aserai all the time.
I digress, but yah for this factor that we cant be at our lands, and travel time from frontlines is 5-7 days 1 way takeing the time to go clear that bandit lair is really frustrating, as it ends with when you come back to frontlines, the enemy have now wiped out alot of progress.(sieges is too fast overall imo, should take longer for the AI vs AI(pretty sure that a siege that last for 2 days would be illprepared vs entrenched defenders to put it that way).
good points, one is for peace that is why I mod diplomacy covers that, these are all issues but once you have a kingdom its gets a bit easier. But when Im a vassal I want one town, thats it. And when in a kingdom, I give most away just not worth dealing with too many
@@Flesson19 I'm still strict vanilla until the game is released(even if it drives me up the walls, so I dont have other causes for bugs etc when I report and give feedback etc).
I agree with the try to keep only 1 town tbh.
In this play though, I actually got 2 towns and 2 castles(and they are still offering more, I vote on the others or take it, then give it away(there should be an "abstein from more land that lords could get, so that the king could take it, and once they get defecting lords, could offer it to them).
I only play sandbox though, and only as vassal. I did become king once(and conquered the whole map).
I do like this other strategy, find a rebelling city - conquer it! from the rebels, they will die, you got the town, however dont proclaim yourself a kingdome.. and thus the ai cant declare war on you :P
And since the faction that had it is gone - they cant either :)
This is a good way to get a nice town, and just watch the others wrestle for power.
This way you can also influence the tide of war, and make a profit ->
Follow the faction you want to support.
Have tons of cows with you, and as they siege offer the cows for free(so they dont need to travel to get more food, and thus actually finish the siege..)
Now you also want to stock up on all the goods you can like grain, meat etc, then the now starved town they conqured will pay really premium for your goods - profit!
I wish they moved the "trade perk" endgame perk to be much lower, so you could trade with the lords in your faction when you are a vassal to one that is far from the frontlines and just keep that(and also not deal with the culture bias aswell).
Hideouts are interesting, in terms of affecting your town. Yes, it lowers security but you can compensate - you might need some kingdom policies (can get around +4 security)/governors (another ~4)/big garrisons to compensate (these are the base).
So, getting more security fixes that about hideouts vs fief; but doesn't fix all the bandit parties killing your villager parties over the long term; which lowers your towns food supply and can cause the chain reaction of no food, no prosperity, no loyalty, into rebellion. I've waited a year in-game, at a far off town, and saw my daily income drop a lot. So..
This is where I liked the Improved Garrison mod. You could have garrison parties patrolling about your fief, so going back to clear hideouts was a low end priority. But, with no mods now I end up going back every so often.
About the consistent war's/peace. I agree and disagree; depending on your/kingdoms relation. If there is some really bad relations and everyone hates each other, it kind-of makes sense that the other kingdom just wants to kill you over and over - so, they focus you. If you/you kingdom has good relations (marriage, quests, etc.) then I agree; its too fast.
@@tdotfun I know about the polices etc, this is more an issue for the AI overall.
But as I said when you get -4 from villages and -2 from hideout at times thats abit much and needs to be fixed.
We should have an option like the mod you mentioned, that we could make say a companion be a "deputy" in the area and lead a party to hunt bandits(they wouldnt act like normal companion parties, as they wouldnt be called into armies).
The problem with the endless/chain wars is that it just simply tank the fun when you get into that state.
15 years of non-stop war vs 2-3 enemies at once just "isnt fun" and it also in some way kind of act as a snowball effect for your kingdome.
Even if its the same 1-2 fiefs being flipped over etc, and many of the wars is short, it still usually ends when your kingdome have 1+ more fiefs.
The thing the game lacks is what I've seen in some mods(I track a ton of mods, but dont play'em while in EA) war-fatigue, that your kingdome just plainly gets tired of war.
And needs a breather.
After all the joke of a tribute being paid, 3000-5000 denar for a kingdome is nothing.
So paying that just to get some peace would be likely.
Defeated kingdomes still acting like "pest-lords" raiding villages etc even if they only got the starting king clan left + some mercs at times, never ever do they siege - bring back "exile" from Warband, and if a town rebel of their starting cities - they get it and are returned.
Or just make it so they are reverted to a normal clan after 100-1000 days without lands(Battania in my Play is prolly close to 1500 without land, Southern Empire close to 1000, but they still keep on declaring wars all the time on everyone).
Dont get me wrong the game is awesome in so many ways, but there is some flawed mechanics still, that dont make "end game" pleasent(unless you behead ppl..)(which isnt relaly great, unless you play a ruthless type).
I'm itching for the game to be released so modders can have stable mods to add in etc(but not on the expense of shipping the game premature though).
I kind of just got this game and I really jumped the gun and rushed into things and now I have a couple castles and a town and I'm bankrupt because of it. The sad part is I don't even want the fief I have 😭 I want an empire fief to start an empire faction.
You can give them back so you can vote to get relation and charm, just go to your clan tab, then fiefs, click on the fief and look at the bottom to give it way. It wont hurt you as they will want to keep giving you fiefs if you have none. I only start with 1 town and never get more as I want to concentrate on 1. Check my new player playlist, I have a lot to help ya there including 1 to help you prepare to become a kingdom leader.
@@Flesson19 Thanks for the tips! And I'll definitely check out your other videos. I'm trying to master smithing right now but my smithing is very low and everything I make is crap 😅 so I get less gold than if sold the swords I smelted
You’re articulated why I always play the campaign instead of Sandbox mode: your big brother. I always set him up as a governor.
Yeah now converting him to 95% reduced escape chance for prisoners also
@@Flesson19 Actually, both brothers are useful! Besides being the ideal governor, you can marry big brother off to a good martial wife, who will bring her own skills. Same with little brother!
I like to set my little sister up for engineer since she can hit 330, then once my little brother is of age, then I move my big brother from party leader to governor, so my 3 group leaders are little brother and both our wives. If I get talent magnet for another party leader ill have a companion set to run it till my oldest child is rdy
@@Flesson19 Hmm, I’ve been getting a little too much into the role play: I usually marry her off to curry favor with the faction leader or a powerful noble!
I had 3 workshops and they were all making 0 denars… I miss warband
I have a video explaining the new things in 1.8 to watch out for. You almost always have to be a detective or micro manage now. its why shops are making no money in .8

Tbh you refer me to a lot of guides I know that’s more views different videos. But I wanna learn all the stuff your talking about. That’s why I found this video. But not even halfway through and you’ve told me to go to like 3 other videos it’s overwhelming. Thanks for the information though.
This is kind of old and before I really got into scripts and good editing. I am slowly redoing all the guides to make them shorter, more concise and easier to follow. I am streaming all weekend if you have questions I can answer if real time
crafting gets so old...... because of urs and others videos i decided to craft finally..........i assume cause my char is old and over lvl 31 my char is lvling very slowly crafting...... still as u said. 10-20 mins in i was making good money. hard part for me atm is geting the blueprints or parts u call them. i spent i dk 6 hours non stop crafting mostly and making 16k swords.. i use my companions and ty for the trick using family to sell them. my husband and brother both maxed out their trading cause of it that lol. yet when i sell weapons i dont get points.........
yeah its bugged they shouldnt get points. fixed Soon
Parts tip: I find a really good way to get parts is to smelt higher tier weapons. A lot of times, you'll make back your investment if you smelt something like a falx or even a ridged saber without too much work. The more expensive, the more effective. Even if you really want the weapon, you can pretty easily get to the point that you can turn around and buy another one for yourself from the profits you made off of the unlocks.
Thank you for this video top tier information and help 🙏👍💯💥
Hey Flesson, Great video however, I have max'd out making money and can make as much as each Fief has in its bank as I tour the map so making money is no problem for me however, managing my expenses is very difficult mainly because I cannot see my itemised costs, I think because the list is so big, when I hover over the gold there is just way too much to see everything. It fills my screen Q: is there any other place I can check to see my overall accounts in the game?
Here is my situation I was Battanian and then broke away and defeated the Empire. I have four factions left to completely own the map. My daily costs are ranging between $26,000-$35,000. I went around the map and reduced my Garrison to the minimum whereby there is a +2 food generation, I have 400-500 militia in each town. I have a 412 army and all my Fiefs are contibuting daily from 810 gold to 2800 gold per day and I currently have 27 towns and no castles. I have no workshops I just used Smithing to earn gold.
Are these expense normal as I was making a daily income throughout the game until I defeated the empire and then I noticed my gold dropping fast. I smithed until I made 25m gold and was positive I have made more than plenty, I have 8.8m now and it is dropping fast.
Any help you can give me to locate my full list of costs or give me some advice on how to manage the money I would be greatful. Cheers 🤔
there is nothing vanilla but if you mod there is 1 that groups them together so you wont sew each one separately but all shops, all caravans. It's called sorted income. Those are your only 2 choices
God I am such a noob even tho I have over 150 hours, but I'm still learning there is so much to this game couldn't figure out why I was loosing sm money until I realised the mercenaries I hired where expensive and dropped them hard 🤣
I have 7,000 hours and still learn new things
super helpful! thanks bro
Step one. Max smithing step two buy daggers and throwing knives step three be a multi millionaire by day 50. never worry about money, dont even bother looting mobs or looking at price tags. buy day 100 have all companions with best gear in the game.
I can't argue with that, it sure works good
Day never: have fun. Min/maxing is such a freaking bore, I've been tired of this since RuneScape and then Skyrim threw it into overdrive and now here we are with Bannerlord and daggers/smithing is still the tired old min/max strat. I mean, go off if that's your bag, but acting like it's the only or best way to play the game is hella disingenuous and has the potential to ruin newbies' experience.
True but im a newbie been playing alittle while and ive come to find that smithing is very slept on because of the unique weapons you create which feel more personal and make the game better imo this method makes you hella money and gives you ability to make your own signature weapons you can do it in moderation
Honestly the economy of the game ruins it. People play the game to raise an army and conquer the map. No one wants to watch an hour long video on SMITHING just to conquer a castle.
It's top notch information that your are giving but if I had to give one critisism it would be talking way too slowly xD
I get that a lot, people go 1.25 speed it's because 60% of my audience is outside north America and want to make sure I don't talk too fast for them

he hasnt had attributes assigned since about 1.6.5, I am not sure about 1.7.2 as ive havent played it in a bit
@@Flesson19 thanks man! then i´m starting a new campaign making him my steward.
@@hanneswurstbrot6902 there's an option to have companions have their skills premade or choosable. I think it's only family members tho

This was real good
Thank you
I thought I was taking my time just hit tier 3 after 200 days, and only have 200k but my costa are -3000 a day due to my party size, don’t know whether to abandon and start again or just change things radically after these tipa
just seem to go too fast. 3000 is a ton unless your a full time merc
Blacksmith. You end up basically printing money. And money means nothing.
pretty much
What in the world how does that even work I am actually upset that I always make way more money then I need specially if there is war I make so much money from destroying armies it’s not even funny I have to constantly run around other town just so I can sell it because towns don’t have enough money ever ! For that reason alone I keep having to download mods to raise my troops salary and recruiting up to like 1000 denars minimum from lowest rank idk how people play this game but that was always my main issue since the beginning town never have enough money to sell everything and each sandbox late in game I am making way too much money to know what to do with! So I just keep selling everything after battles even tho i am losing 50k to 200k each trade since I always feel like I am cheating this is mostly mid to late game!
thank you

How do you fix it when you maxed out your money and it just drys up cause it keeps telling me I can’t pay all wages even though I am in the positive in financing I really don’t get it
If you have debts built up it will continue to drag on your personal funds because debts only come out of the money in your pocket, not the clan's passive income.
@@Cavemanner how do you make sure you don’t go into debt then can I have lost of workshops making almost 300 each and ever time I max out my army it just goes there my army size is 500 or 600 I see plenty of people have that size army tho
@@alexnaranjo4411 ah, yeah, you can do parties that big, sure, but you have to plan it out carefully. If you have even 100 of those troops at tier 5 you're bleeding out more than your workshops/fiefs are producing, and that's just that 100. The other 400 will be draining you on top of that, so you'll likely never even break even without maxed shops, several maxed fiefs, several caravans and even then you'd have to be lucky on top due to economic drift. It's better to just keep your party to a more reasonable size (100-200), keep ratios of higher tier units instead of blindly upgrading every troop (some tier 5s are actually worse than tier 4 right now anyway, so a tier 3/4 army is a good setup for pure offense like during wars), and watch your garrison levels (you can adjust your garrisons' wage caps in the clan screen, fiefs tab, under where your fiefs are listed).
Hope that helps! Good luck, and feel free to ask any and all Bannerlord questions, I'll do my best to answer them or point you to another video that can!
@@alexnaranjo4411 oh, I forgot to add that while you maintain a party of 100-200, during wars you just recruit a bunch of lords to your Army to bolster your numbers instead of trying to pay for 500 troops yourself. If you're trying not to join a kingdom, recruit wanderers and train them in Steward, Medicine, and Scouting, and then Tactics and Riding if able. Once they're a decent level in all of those (up to you and how long you want to grind training them) then go to your clan, parties tab, and create a party with them as the leader. Make sure you have a decent number of high tier troops to give them to start, say 20-30. They'll immediately recruit lower tier troops in friendly towns to fill out their party and you can then form an army and call them into it for free and with free cohesion restoration.
@@Cavemanner thanks for your help
I think smithing is against my rpg, but war is my solution to money…right now
Rogiery is how I make my money
ugh im losing money before even getting a fief.
picking the right workshops is key, that is 1k-2k a day there, without modding through the mid game you almost always be in the negative, take time to trade, be a merc(this one is amazing) and get a little roguery for loot to stock up
@@Flesson19 Thanks I havent played with mods and I was just moving from town to town trying to make money by trading or doing quests, and by increasing my army. After awhile I just end up going broke because the quests dont pay enough and the army gets too expensive. going broke when my army costs like 400 a cycle. I am def playing wrong.
being that you are newer I highly recommend watching my 1.7 walk through. I know its a bit long but I show you everything I do to make money fast while leveling so when its time to become a vassal or merc your prepared. I cant stress enough being a merc for awhile the pay is amazing and you can leave anytime without relations lost if you get into trouble, here is link and anymore questions just ask

How do you increase roguery tho?
prison breaks if can find them, selling prisoners, having bandits in your party, if using useful companions mod then just having bandits as prisoners
