A core of Barclay Sappers/footmen plus some Melitine lancers will do. Also these are relatively safe trade routes.Ĥ) Get some crack troops as soon as you can afford them. Buying iron at Senderfall and selling it at Ravenstern, Rane, or Windholm usually gives a nice Profit, as does buying fish at Windolm and selling it at Jarviksholm or buying flax at Jarviksholm and selling it Avendor. Don't hire as many troops as your troop limit allows unless they're good troops,ģ) Make some money. Restrict yourself to roaming around Ravenstern and Senderfall, Windholm and Jarviksholm, Avendor, Sarleon and Marleons, Janos and Ethos in the beginning and try to fight only bandits, outlaws and other lowlevel scum until you can afford some decent troops. In the beginning avoid the Jatu, Knights of Eventide and Knights of the Dawn, the Noldor, Adventuring Companies and Renegade Knights and perhaps Vanskerry Raiders as well. When creating a new character and levelling up invest as many points as possible into intelligence and then into pathfinding (depends on your characters intteligence.) So try to be faster than your enemies.Ģ) Avoid tougher enemies at all cost. In case you haven't figured it out by yourself by now, here are some hints how to survive through early/midgame without too much trouble:ġ) Speed is everything.
