If you own all the lands in an area, youвЂ™ll be the only one stationed there to maintain it. That way, when I rebel, everything will be close together and easier to maintain. I can capture castles most anywhere and trade them with other lords to consolidate fiefs in one location. Ultimately, I intend to found a kingdom seated in Khergit lands. Charisma points will be used for prisoner management and leadership, and IвЂ™ll figure somebody to fill in trade skill (Jeremus and Marnid wonвЂ™t be available due to disagreeable tactics).

Pathfinding, scouting and tracking will be sourced out to Borcha, medical skills will probably be split between Lezalit, Artimener, and Alayen. High looting requires highВ agility, which will enable higher riding skill and horse archery. Of course, IвЂ™ll need a high looting skill to get valuable loot, more of it, and to quickly get in and out of village raids (the higher the skill, the lower the risk). All beefed up, IвЂ™ll be ready to grind out some xp and reputation by soloing bandit parties. Then, IвЂ™ll snag up a few villagers for trade goods and ransom, all the while keeping my party small and mounted, with the money going into better armor and weapons. On this character, I intend to do a few menial tasks until I hit high enough reputation (250 I think) to be invited to join a campaign as a mercenary. The problem is that unless you consistently score great trade deals and keep your party lean, you end up with big money problems. Help villagers get cattle, drive off bandits, and play the doting lord to some backwater village. I wonвЂ™t shy away from the occasional dishonorable act, but I will try to keep most barbarous acts under the sanction of war. Since IвЂ™ll be using diplomacy mod, IвЂ™ll still be able to recruit from whomever, if indirectly, once I get a castle and constable.

I plan on teaming up with the Khergit Khanate, and raiding an pillaging just about everybody else. Red BeardвЂ¦ This is going to be my first play through as a villainous villain.
