I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
Everyone always talks about sea raider farming, but what about desert bandits? Sure they don't have chainmaille, but with my modest army costing around 600 denars I can usually capture 10-15 per battle. Dragging them to Shariz clears me a cool 2 Gs and I can do this a couple times a week. My army consists mostly of sarranid recruits/footman, with about 10 merc crossbowmen, 2-3 Mamlukes and a few manhunters. Best part is I lose very few men unlike when I try to farm sea raiders. Hopefully with higher loot skill I will be able to get some horses but no such luck so far.
