So, I end up loading into a fight after reading the Auto Resolve where it says that the battle location takes place in the "Plains" as well as looking visually at where im located on the map with not a single tree in sight around me, and then i get a marsh surrounded by trees. Begs another question, if I would have auto resolved, would it have auto'd on that map I loaded into or would it have auto'd with a Plains modifier to cavalry/horse archer troops? submitted by /u/tjburke93123 [link] [comments]
In the early game, I know there are options (trading, quests, etc.) but am I just missing something? It seems too obvious to just round up some low T2-T4 khuzait archer cavs (especially since you can hire low tier archer cavs without needing to have horses for them) to get you started?
It doesnt cost a lot to get 10 or so archer cavs and you can be fast enough to avoid the fights you want and kill what you can handle and just increase your size to 20-40 of whatever tier you can afford.
I try to avoid the temptation and go with infantry but your force is slower and overtime they do get killed off in melee's. It just really feels like you punish yourself avoiding pure archer cavalry and once you can afford it (a short somewhat tedius but easy grind on bandits) you can run with 50+ upper tier archer cavalry and go after nobles as a mercenary in wars.
Being a merc with a mini doom stack of 50-70+ veteran archer cavs and you can rinse and repeat attacking single nobles and either sell gear/troops for good money and sell the lord for a boost of gold or let go for the charm boost. By then your reknown grows over time with the fights and you can go to any kingdom as a noble / remain as a merc and really bring in the money while running down the enemies while building your skills/companions/party up to be ready for the late game.
I know blacksmithing and a few other methods can make good money but you gotta let it go at some point (and early black smithing is ... painful ).
Anyways just ... seems like its just too practical to go with mid tier archer cavs in early to mid. Doing this as a merc/noble and running around whacking nobles, and I raised a few million gold just selling loot/nobles (once their relationship was 50+ since I beat them multiple times).
Thoughts?
