So we all remember that the main way to gain experience and money was to farm looters (especially in warband it was useful to focus on looters until you could take on mountain bandits and farm those so you could move on to sea raiders and finally get free good equipment and xp and cash) in fact I could take on parties of 30+ sea raiders eventually with just me and 10 companions and gain glorious amounts of xp
But I have had to reload and restart several campaigns now because I'm constantly getting my ass handed to me, and I need to fight because the party wage of just me, 2 heroes, a forrest bandit and a hill man is 67 per day and I have no source of income, but in battle I constantly miss with my Lance and sword and the looters always hit me and my horse with something, and eventually Looters just pelt you and your men with rocks and that's the end of it after a while you are beaten, in Warband I used to solo 30 looters in the early game with just a horse, shield and lance. In bannerlord I can barely take on 20 looters even when I bring help and when everything is on the easiest settings
