I've mainly taken out the Cities in the South East so I guess I've seen this bug more so, Maybe I'll try a game attacking the swedish or something.

This thread reminded me of that line in Willow. Sense we're all being entertained in this thread...

[Sorsha takes off her helmet, revealing her face and long hair, after Madmartigan has pushed her away from him when she tries to look under his robe for Elora Danan]

Madmartigan: [still disguised as 'Hilda' and speaking in a falsetto] You're... beautiful.

Sorsha: And you're very strong.

Madmartigan: Thank you...

Sorsha: You're no woman!
[she rips off Madmartigan's disguise]

Barmaid: Now, honey...

Llug: Not a woman?

Barmaid: Easy!

Madmartigan: Gentlemen...

Llug: *Not a woman?*

Madmartigan: ...meet Llug.
[he ducks just as Llug's punch knocks into the soldier holding him]

As far as I've seen the lil guy following you is simply to please the eye.  The Caravan guy doesn't seem to be affected by passing enemies or rival lords.

I've found the Speed rating of the weapons to be a good gage. Pistols are around 35 speed and rifles in the low 20's.
You can use that to determine cost-speed ratio.

As stated above, Pre-Patch Merc's didn't upgrade.
Post-Patch they now upgrade to Elite

Makes a big difference in Riffleman units. Their much more accurate I've found.

They don't train up very well unles you or one of your followers have the "trainer" skill I'd dedicate one of your followers to this skill it's very usefull to quickly train up troops.

Ah you just lost the animation following you I'm sure.

You completed the quest and probably got the money for the route too I bet.

I personaly find recruiting from the Commander at your cities baffling Unit names seems to be random letters.  and Trying to memorize them all is hard. I mean if you see a Zakulu on  list of troops to hire.. what is that? a Cook?

I suggest sticking with hiring from Merc Camps and upgrading their Gear makes a huge difference.
Once upgraded all troops hired will have that equipment. Keep that in mind if you need cheaper Units. CAUTION: It will upgrade or Downgrade all the units you own, if their in your army or Garisoned in a castle.

Ditch your odd named troops in a garrison to use as cannon fauder when your attacked.

Never seen that, did you go to the city you were supposed to.
Look at the quest if you forgot. Go to the end destination. Does it still not complete the quest?

Oh it'd be great to be able to have Pike-man circle your ranged units huh.

I didn't find Pike-man very useful.

I use 90% riflemen 5-10 Plate Calvary.

Beginning of battle move your troops to the back wall (so their horseman can't circle you.
Line up your riflemen and then as the enemy approach ride out and distract them with the cavalry following you...  Tactic is to break up their line so they stagger into your riflemen and get filled with lead. Don't get caught up in Melee just hit and run..

If your riflemen are all firing at once simply advance them 10 paces and back again.. they'll stagger out there fire.

Trade routes usually follow what is available on the market screen in bulk.
Example. Reval-Riga area produces OIL, if you asses local prices it's usual in demand in Moscow area.
Don't sell to the same town each time, you'll do better spreading it out in the area.

Buying Spices/velvet in the South and selling In the North is very profitable.

Keep in mind that Caravans are not very repeatable, it takes time for city's to produce enough for a 'Bulk' sale to be available. It also takes time for Demand to go down so that it is profitable to sell to the same city again.

My advice is if you don't find a good available for caravan at a good price, just go to the next town. It's worth your time to hop around a bit before you commit to a 10day caravan.

Once I sold Velvet from Smolensk to Tula 3x in a row before the route disappeared. made 110,000 a trip
So it's also nice to 'Asses prices' in the market screen, though I'd save first to make sure the goods don't disappear.



Here's some examples


What From Price/total TO            Profit
Fur Novgorod 40-4940                Kalanchak 20,000
Fur Reval 68-5830                  Bratzlav            24,160

Oil Dorpat Fortress 37-4690 Moscow 9580
South East
Iron Kafa 17-4112 Novgorod 16,080
Salt Perekop 37-4472 Reval 11,200


South West
Raw Silk Bar Fort 530-20600 Narva 31,200


As far as making money, well If you have enough inventory space, just trade in High end items, velvet and spices and what not tell you have about 5-6000 then you can start the small caravans.
Theres a really good chance that a 20unit Caravan wont make money, its worth it to save up tell you can just do the 40unit caravans.

And don't buy the Trade Patent tell you have 55,000 so that you end up with at least 10k after you purchase it so you can continue trading.. (quest says it's 4,500 but it's really 45,000 yes it's been reported as a bug)


Good luck. I know I found it a much more challenging market then Warband
