It’s my first time I’m going so far, so now I’m stuck and don’t know what to do. My character is 30 y.o female imperial 25 lvl with 4 tier clan and I’m mercenary for kuzait. First time of game I just farm bandits for increasing my riding and archery skills, and now I create 130 army units which is horse archers. But I received a lot of problems.

1. I didn’t recruit any companions , is there worth it now? Because I really don’t know whom to chose
2. Is my female character still can marry and have children in 30 as mercenary? Do I need to do it asap?
3. How to increase my income because it depends on influence snd right now it’s too long to hunt every enemies lord army and my army cost a lot (around 1500 per day)
4. Should I still play as mercenary or I can become lord right now or create my own kingdom?

I build my character by hunting bandits snd use bow only snd now I’m 250 in both archery and riding, so I tested both bows and can’t say that there is a huge difference. Both do same damage in headshot but when attack any other body parts longbow oneshot the bandits snd shortbow just got 80-90 damage snd didnt kill, and overall I didn’t see that I kill enemies faster with noble shortbow, so i really don’t know what to chose, right now I’m on my save between buying noble longbow (I’m maiming a shortbow) and it cost 120k so this is kinda expensive, but I’m holding around 400k and I don’t know where to spend my money.

I literally can’t find any good armor, everything I see is 5 tier shitty golden armors with only 35 body protection which also very cheap (around 20k), I farm 200k and I literally don’t know what to buy, I’m only wearing southern chainmail from tournament
