[4.5 Beta] Money Making Tips? Post Here

[TheRighteousMan]

Um, if you win a tournament in native (and SoD) you get about 4k.
That is plenty of money IMO.

I suppose it could be like 10k.

4k dosnt cover the time lost while walking to town ^^ (weekly salary 13 500 gold with 3 castles ^^)

Your castles bring in 13.5k per week? With the new changes, I haven't figured out how to make 1k per week with a town yet...perhaps once they are all built up, they will be better, but right now I can't make money.
In Invasion 4.1, I had no problem making 150k+ per week with 5 or 6 towns, now I am broke all the time

I think he meant he loses that amount per week.  With those kind of payments you'd need multiple towns and a boat load of regiments... unless you're cheating.

I am a serial looter...

My tried and true method.  They'll get over it eventually.  I lose tax revenue I suppose when I take them, but then again, I clean out a towns' merchants in one go so I think it more than makes up for itself.  You only collect a few hundred from them per week when they are at medium size plus they reset to be lootable again in a week.  Or you could kill them and make 5000 per village looting and do this to multiple villages a week.  The decision seems obvious to me.

Get about 35 elite/veteran cavalry and start killing sea raiders. Less units you have better loot you will get(which is stupid IMO). With 10 trading I was able to get 70k in one week.

Don't forget about the boar clan (a mini-guild) in the Southern areas.  They are slightly stronger than sea raiders and thier equipment is better.  Will be more of a challenge and better rewards.

There are no boar clan anymore, thanks to patches. Actually none of the new guilds have their lord out either. I miss my flintlock pistol(Black army has those. ).

tourneys are kinda for the new players, when u get towns and all that, they are kinda obsolete. But, with the villages, i never raid the ones i will take for myself (atm Uxkhals 3 villages are favored by me)
