So far in early access I've made plenty of money by running several caravans and owning shops. In this past patch, I'm currently owner of Charas with 15 caravans and 2 shops. My garrison is 200+Militia. In all games prior to 1.4.1 I made tons of money and was able to maintain an empire, however with the release of 1.4.1, I can't break even. The caravan size needs to be restored to increase with clan tier size. To have caravans full of the best troops I can buy get killed by forest bandits and looters is absolutely unacceptable. 30 man caravans is totally too small.. Not sure what the devs are trying to accomplish by making caravans useless. I should be bringing in about 5k to 10k a day with all my trading lanes. Not so. I'm losing 1k to 2k a day. Thank god for console commands or this build would be totally unplayable for me. I feel like troop wages have gone way up after this patch, not sure if that's the case.
As an aside, RNG in conversations is totally broken. I just saved before trying to convince a noble to join my kingdom. I reloaded the save eleven times trying to convince on the first question at 42% chance for a critical success. Eleven fails. I gave up.
