(PLUS if you have cattle on follow rather than run away, there's a mobile food source waiting for you at every village). It's also a good way to feed your men whilst out on campaign. You can also just target half of one kingdoms villages to raid for the entirety of the game and you'll have plenty of loot. A few villages with high relations is plenty. You really need every lord in the game to join? You just need a couple of decent ones that will follow and the rest can stay in the dungeon.Īgain, you don't need good relations with every village. If my King isn't at war I'm STILL raiding, still attacking lords until I'm ready to make my own kingdom.īut RANDOMDUDE, that means you'll be dishonourable and lords won't like you and won't want to join! if you have low trade skill you won't be getting more than a couple of hundred denars (as opposed to around 5k from a raid).īandit camps always gave me crap loot too.Īfter I have an army that's capable of raiding (see above) I'm done with sea raiders, I target lords. What bandits? Sea raiders? They're the only ones who give decent loot. You have a very crappy village, in which the people LOATHE you. If you raid villages, then once you conquered the castle/town.

Hunting bandits and bandit camps is FAR better.Īnd in the latter case will increase relations for when you start becoming the next Calradian emperor/empress. They'll refuse and attack.Ī few dozen bodies later, you're free to loot and take everything without being attacked by lords

If you have a powerful character you can force villagers to give you supplies. Just don't do it to villages you might want to recruit from in the future! I wouldn't recommend it until you have a good force of 50-60 top tier troops though, just in case you have a big army that attacks.īefore you get to that stage, you can always ride around and force them to give you supplies. It's also a good way to dilute enemy armies and make them fight dismounted (diluted because peasants spawn with them). and turns a nice profit especially if you didn't level prisoner management and have low party trading skill.
