Some enterprises can make a lot of money if you babysit them, that is buy the raw materials in a town for cheaper than what your master brewer/dyer/tanner can buy it for. If you increase you trade skill your ability to buy at lower prices increases and you can sell at higher prices. I don't know if you do, but you can get a sizeable income in from buying goods in one town/village and selling them in another. If you don't want to be a vassal, don't talk to any kings until you have achieved what you want. Sacking villages makes lots of people upset, companions, lords, villagers etc etc. Protect your village, put a bakery, messenger post and watchtower in it if you have the money. Of course when you join up with a faction some enterprises cannot trade due to it being in an opposing factions town.ĭon't sack villages for people, if they tell you to do it, just say no. Before I seriously joined up with a faction I got about 7 enterprises in towns across the map.
