What's the primary source of your income? Does it change over time as character/party develops?

depends on my character to start really, basically always has a certain pathline for himself.
1. high end loot from any combat.
(as well as buying low selling high market goods)
the thriving force for me
2. full time embedded slavery round up
3. staying active with lord quests/town quests
a general / constant sprinkler.
4. maintaining my lands as it is capable.
5. just started using the enterprises

How does it depend on your character? What different kinds of characters do you play?

ermm.. well.. Some guys (which i forgot to mention) I will not take to tournaments, as they are only elligble in combat as healers or tactitioners.. so that funding is out.
some might be too... eh... oriented to smashing skulls over grabbing deals..
others wont loot for sake of realistically stripping the dea be it time delay or ill aquisition..
then with lords its just about whether i refuse to approach a lord to assist.
or how i receive my reward.. honorable or no honor. in which case i also forgot.. raiding villages..
whats fun with villages ( if this is not mod related) with a small party the villagers will actually sally out about 50+ guys against you... can become quite the leveling experience. I am not sure how much troop tier comes into a factor versus troop population.
id say somewhere under 20 guys they will come out against you. they might even have close to 100 people in new enemy wave.

IF you are actually looking for advice to aid you on your journey, i can write this out in a better format.
otherwise i am just kind of blithering about my skip around character plays.

I once made 100,000 denars in two days. Have you ever done that?
Well, watch yourself and think about it. I wonder if you won't discover that about 50 or even 75% or income comes from ransoming prisoners. That's the way it was for me back when I was trying to be a trader. There just aren't enough goods in this game worth buying for resale. But I would always take enough bandits to fill my prisoner limit; I thought of it as part of my trade convoy. I think I had a Prisoner Management skill of 3, and one day I realized that I was making more from the prisoners than I was from the trading.
So, I swifted my focus from trading to bandit hunting from Inventory Management to Prisoner Management.
This last game there was a time that both the tundra lair and the sea raider landing had spawned very close to Rivacheg. I arrived in Rivacheg, dodging bandits left and right all the way, and discovered that there was a Ransom Broker in the town. I would go out, isolate one bandit group, my whole party captures rather than killing because they have blunt weapons, take the group, and return to Rivacheg to sell the loot and prisoners. I kept that up until the Broker left town. When I looked I was 100,000 denars richer than I had been when I started.
Here's the kicker. I only had a Prisoner Management skill of 4! If I'd had a 10, I could have made almost twice that much.

1. Looting bandit troops after erasing their faces from Calradia (invest in looting skill)
2. Trade (buy cheaper in villages sell in cities) - invest in trade skill
3. Productive enterprises in cities, talk to guildmaster - need actual money to invest
4. Quests (Lords/Guildmasters)
5. Being a mercenary or vassal
6. Tournament bets on yourself
I may be forgetting some.

@Tripida, I think Meriga was off on campaign when I found Rivacheg in that condition. Emir Hamezan starts off as ruler of Ahmerrad. I've seen magic happen down there. A ransom broker shows up in Ahmerrad and I use him well, he leaves, I go to Durquba on my way out of the desert, and what do you know, a ransom broker has just shown up in Durquba and there are lots more bandits around it.
Productive enterprises are great. I use all of them. But even if you put the right enterprises in every city on the map, you're talking about an income of about 10,000 per week. If you have a prisoner management of 5, a prisoner taking force, and a ransom broker right there, you can take about 5,000 a combat. And about 1,000 of that is the loot off the bandits. The bandits are the loot!

If you don't want to attack villages, caravans, there is an other way.
For the beginnig you can attack to the sea raiders. It is very good idea, because:
1- They have good items which means you can loot valuable items.
2- You can take prisoners. They make good money for selling comparing to other bandits.
3- You can level up easily as well as your companions.
4- You will be very close to Curaw which has very cheap iron. You can sell these irons even in Rivacheg.
*So give blunt weapons to your companions to get more prisoners
*You can get some manhunters to get more prisoners
*Even in high levels I go to sea riders only with my companions to make them level up

One thing I did to make cash is trade runs of spice from Kerg lands to Vaegir and Nord cities while bringing salt halfway back and selling then iron other portion of trip and it does pretty good. Add in all the money and XP from fighting sea raiders and looting their hideout each time after selling spice but prior to picking up salt and its not bad. Make sure your entire party is mounted so faster travel and more runs. Of course I had to improve inventory skill and kept about 6 pack horses in inventory. Many of these were captured steppe horses from steppe bandits. If you wait them in inventory the lame ones will heal.
Also made a bunch of money during these runs by entering tournaments and winning them (especially Kerg) while betting the maximum each time on myself, buying a few cheap items in villages and selling them in cities, and all the loot from bandit battles. Some of the cities became very clogged with junk weapons so I starting selling only the good stuff there and all the junk to random villages.
Typically I try to outfit my companions with either captured armor (from sea raiders mainly) or else my old stuff handed down. Saves alot of cash. I do buy them nice weapons though.

Basic Income Stages for me:
1. Sell loot. Capture bandits to sell to Ransom Brokers. Fight in the Arena. Maybe get lucky at a tournament.
2. Buy land for productive enterprises at various towns. I'll start with a dyeworks at Rivacheg.
3. Become a vassal and earn rents/tariffs from fiefs. I'll capture a town ASAP for the garrison and easy passive income.
After that I never want for money. As a late-game vassal or King I'll always have enough money to meet my needs.

Basically the same things King Loras said, although even after I set up all my enterprises and started collecting taxes from fiefs I still made most of my money from selling prisoners to Ransom Brokers (those dudes have some deep, deep, Jacques Cousteau pockets!). I would take every opportunity to rescue Manhunters from bandits and train them up; I ended up with more Slaver Chiefs than I could fit in my party.
