Doing all and you can achieve 10k-15k a day but even doing just 1 will help out greatly.

One of my favorite locations once I have Charm up and a high level majority archer army is in between Khuzait and Sturgia or in between Khuzait and Northern Empire. I'll often just jump in between those three kingdoms for a while and retake the three or four castles in the northeast corner. If you time it right, you usually can take a castle without building any siege engines. The troops are usually low level but often twice your number, you get tons of influence and don't lose any troops, then you can just take all the prisoners, donate them to the dungeons. Once you switch sides you go back, take the castle again, take all the troops that used to be prisoners and donate them to the garrison and rinse and repeat. You can jump up to 150 influence within a couple of days of making a new contract.

Nice tips that I will try in the future. If you don’t want to max charm, you can also focus on roguery to boost loot found for sale. This also works nicely when you need items to smelt for smithing. I think that’s why I enjoy this game so much. There are so many different ways to play this game and still be successful.

This channel has some insane value! Put in about 40 hours as a new player and now looking to jump into a more serious playthrough where I focus on the important things, your videos are helping a ton!

I can tell you analyzed this game thoroughly.

Wanna raise your charm fast? Defeat enemy lords and let them go. Doing so skyrockets your charm and increases your relationships. When your relationship is raised enemy parties dont burn your villages, and are more likely to let you pay to avoid a fight.

Great guide. Thanks yet again!

Joining the weaker side and have a small party that are able do defeat stronger armies is v good to get influence. A 40 strong -- kan's or Fian, making a 100 troops enemy vanish... is a faster way to get influence! Also, if you are relative weaker enemies will come to you, not run from you. So you "get" them faster!

Hiho my friend. I completly forgot about prison breaks and how to do these. Nice. Thank you :)

After two years of playing just now doing a mercenary build lol thank you for everything that you do

Well crap, now I want to start another campaign. I'm never going to beat this game. I've restarted at least 20 times already.

Love it

I usually mix up releasing and capturing lord to donate the Lords to castles etc. For relation with Lords From each side and get a lot of charm. You also get between 4-15 ish influence pr lord depending on who they are

Is that a swinging polearm that you use at the end of the video? If yes, what's the name and where did you buy it? been looking for swingable polearm for ages now

Great guide, lots of interesting strategies

Had one game, just picking off Vlandians in the top left corner, army after army, as a Vlandian working for the Batts, and I was making an obscene amount of money as a merc. 5,000K a day easy.

thanks for the tips flesson. do you have a clue why the merc payment over time drops deeper and deeper regardless of the situation your kingdom is in? I side often with battania and get contracts around 200 cause they get swarmed like mad in the beginning and need help, but the payment drops always down in the low 100s. sounds kinda dumb to pay your mercs less and less money when you need them more...

Loved doing this, then I got RBM and realized it has a high influence decay coded in :/.

Great guide as always!!!!

What are the ranges for contacts? 100-300? 50-500? What's a good one range to accept and what's a bad range?

💪💪💪

My next playthrough I'm going full merc.

What about tier 5 or tier 6 cav prisoners? Iirc they are priced extremely high.

Hi, does the Virile perk in charm tree works for men as well? (I think i heard it works for women only)

Also if you want to pick up trade exp without any exploit, either to level up or to buy a town, that immortal charm money can float a 30-50 man trading party and you can go about trading and making money while you make money as a "mercenary"

But what about large armies that come at you? You can't beat them with less than 200 troops.

Is it a mod that is showing you the equipment of the lords in before you’ve met them mine doesn’t give me a list of their equipment

Funny forrest archers go brrrrr

I'm 1% sure this guy is BDubs. =] (A slow, calming, familiar voice)

I had no idea you are paid for Influence

Why does he talk like Kevin from the office

Pointless because by the time you rank up to 275 you should be rich anyway
