It is also possible to go to Ireland and hunt, but bandits are strong there, and you need a ship which is expensive, and sea travel can be dangerous both to your morale and because of sea raiders. Sell furs: England (and friesland, but there you take all the traders' money when selling your wool)Д«uy the goods cheaper from villages, sell the goods expensively in towns. To get money, the best way is to have a good trader companion (or yourself), and travel to good places to sell and buy things.

In this mod troops get very expensive if you want to be able to take castles and beat lords, so until you hold a town of your own and have enterprises you might want to pay attention to when payday is, and just camp inside your settlement just when you're supposed to pay wages, so you only pay half wages to your troops. You'll also need to get lots of money to pay them. To stand a chance early game you have to get your renown up to 100 asap, so you can recruit ok mercenaries at the taverns.

To recruit from a village you have to have permission from the village elder, which mainly costs you some hundred gold per village. Late-game you will be able to use trainer to get a good group of decent troops, but battles will still be required to get the best (if using faction troops). Units require insane amounts of exp to level up, and trainer is not viable until mid-game, and then it's only really effective for leveling up extremely shitty troops into ordinary shitty troops. The long spear mainly when you don't want to die but still have the ability to get some kills.ДЄs for recruitment, trainer skill is pretty bad in this mod. I found the best weapon sets for me was just 1hand+shield+some long spear. Viking Conquest has a decent formation system which makes squares pretty great. My suggestions for troops is a mix of 1hand+shield and spear+shield units. Throwers regularly one shot people though, so they are nice.

If you play the main story (the campaign) you'll at least start out as norsemen of some sort, and their archers are a bit shit. Having some crossbowmen or throwers can be nice though, depending on what main culture you intend to go.
