Here is a guide to start this game easily, this will leave you with some nice elite troops, a castle and the ability to defend it (and will spoil your gameplay until that point):
Extra tip: I just noticed that setting the battle size below 400 makes the game MUCH more easier. (No matter what difficulty % you get at the end, battle size below 400 = easy, battle size to 1000 = hard)
Also check http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,75280.0.html to get an unlimited supply of qualis gems and nice stuff. (cheats) (Rane chest is 743 on troops.txt, qualis gem is item 788 and runic weapons from 793 to 811)
-Don't use money for equipment, save all you can.
-It is best to lvl up Cha to 30 and leadership to 10 first, then all points to int because you can get 63 agi/str with qualis gems later (and because you won't need to fight, just click F1 at start of battles when you have the archers)
-Go from tavern to tavern recruiting Young nobles, they can beat weak bandits 1 to 6.
-Evolve them to Young adventurers/Rogue squires/Adventurers/Hero adventurers.
-Go get the Qualis Gem from Rune and save it.(check forums if you dont know where it is)
-When you need stronger enemies go attack some D'Shar lords. (Capture = For money, Let them go = Cheaper elite troops + you get them as your vassals later on. You will need both.)
-When you have about 10 Hero adventurers and 30 Adventurers go conquer a D'Shar castle, build a Silvermist ranger order in it and upgrade it as much as you can.
-Put all troops you have and rescue that are not pendor archers or adventurers in the castle's garrison.
-Now stop recruiting nobles and start recruiting Pendor recruits at villages and rescuing Farmers and refugees to evolve them to grey archers, then bring them to your castle to get Silvermist rangers.
-When you have around 30 Silvermist rangers with at least 40 agi/str, and 100 more troops in your castle to use as meat shield you can defend yourself against the D'Shar retaliation of 700+ soldiers and start capturing all the map
