I like being a slave trader. I hope that the game takes into account the amount of slaves you trade, and then later those slaves revolt and riot in your cities and demand to be paid reparations for their enslavement while you make statements condemning violence on both sides. Make Slavery Great Again. Join one of the factions as a soldier. Basically leave your game on auto run till you are max level of soldier and you have a sizeable amount of money. Take leave from being a soldier and act as a merchant to get more money. Repeat 2 and 3 for a while and you will ve rich enough to sustain your own army for a while. All of that just to get Trade from around 220 to 300 (I realised that trading horses give more Trade exp quite late in-game). But still, if you really want that 300 Trade just go for it but remember to give the towns or villages you bought the horses from time to replenish. You can raise your clan tier or something else in the meantime. Saves a lot of points. Social for Charm and Leadership is important later game and, of course, Trade if you want that. Endurance for Riding, Athletics, and Smithing. Athletics and smithing in particular. Athletics for 2 free Attribute points and tons of extra health at high levels, in addition to running speed. Raise armies, engage in politics, trade, craft weapons, recruit companions and manage your fiefdom as you attempt to establish your clan among the nobility of Calradia. Command and fight alongside your troops in first- or third-person in huge real-time battles using Mount & Blade’s deep but intuitive skill-based directional combat system. The barrier to entry should be the huge cost, not a perk. It's a bad/mediocre design. You will make more gold with 10 smithing than 1000 trading. Even in the skill description it says level up by running a caravan. Like cmon. That’s for companions. You do not run the caravans, you just sponsor them. this basicly breaks down the game money wise into 2 sections. quests and trade or combat and trade. i recently made a character purely focused on leadership. max social with charm and leadership i avoided every other stats i could and when progressing avoided leveling any other stats. Trade is the most painful skill to learn, outclassed by simply killing and looting by a huge margin, and completely dictates how the game has to be played, aka forces a person to only do trade in order to level it up. Vay Nhanh Fast Money.
