Get dyeworks everywhere EXCEPT Janos, get anything else there.Īlso Knighthood Orders are pretty good early on since you can hire nobles that turn into knights for 500 each (you can use the qualis gem from Rane secret chest to set one up once you own a walled fief). Go around defeating decent sized parties and maybe lords.
Once you grind renown, honour and lord relations, it’s time to mercenary up and build up a good 60 top-tier troops. Try aligning yourself with a faction that has a good starting troop tree (fierdsvain, ravenstern, baccus empire) since d’shar and sarleon base troops are quite weak. Focus on getting companions early and grinding small raiding parties (first brigands, mystmountain warriors and then move onto harder raiders like vanskerrys and jatu).īeware! At the start of the game you will be very weak compared to the other units and villagers often suck.
