I'm struggling to make money without it being a very slow grind of me running about killing groups of looters/bandits
As the title says, I'm struggling to make money to sustain even just my group of 20 soldiers as I feel too weak to get hired as a mercenary for a country and trade stat is too low to make money buying and selling goods. I feel stupid for not understanding what I should be doing haha travelling the map doing quests for village notables and selling loot from looters/bandits and profits from tournaments is how I'm very slowly gaining money right now, but it gets stale after doing it for about an hour.
Anyone got some tips for a returning player who feels like they have no idea what they are doing and need to earn money in early game without being connected to a faction?
Tl:dr: Got tips on how to earn money in the early game?
