I mainly play Multiplayer, and have generally avoided Singleplayer (I dislike half-baked features). But recently downloaded the "Serve as a Soldier" mod, something that was really important to me setting up a character in Warband.
My character recently received a castle (his first fief) and he is bleeding denars, at the moment around 800 denars per day sometimes a 1000 a day. I have no control over recruitment costs, an automated system (?) that constantly recruits more soldiers into my garrison, and the max capacity is 300. My character has probably bled around 50k, trying to build upgrades for increased taxes and wage cuts to soldiers in the garrison (while fighting off the low loyalty and potentially a revolt).
The only way I can rake back any denars and alleviate the loss is simply by warring but I'm still losing denars.
I currently have 3 workshops and luckily the kingdom is receiving tributes, the attached villages are safe and I've managed to push back any raids.
I'm at the point now where I feel I should take out some choice troops and give up the fief.
Am I missing something here. Any suggestions are welcome, but please don't tell me to cheese smithing.
EDIT- In the end I did a bit of digging around on the internet and found that we could turn off the auto recruitment or limit it. I culled a 100 troops - giving them to an allied castle and turned off the auto recruitment and now I'm gaining monies c:Also choosing decent troops and giving away the fief would still have me bleeding denars.
