So yeh, im pretty terrible, i keep getting captured by small patrols of bandits and robbers. Which forces me to gather all my troops over again.
I did win 2 tournaments though, so i have around 4000 gold with 18 troops, all of which are low level militia or footmen, i have a couple of archers and 1 horseman.
Need help on how to not keep getting captured and actually get somewhere, because all im doing at the moment is go to attack bandits get captured and lose troops recruit more troops go to attack bandits get captured and so on. |

I save at points where i've done well, such as winning battles, leveling up and winning tournaments. If i die i just revert back to that save.

| Recruit enough troops to get the max you can have, THEN start attacking bandits and what-not. |

It shouldn't. Early on you can't accommodate that many troops and new recruits only cost 10 denars. Besides, you're not going to get anywhere with a band of only 19 troops.

| Build up a good income, invest those tourney winnings into iron workings and stuff in towns of factions that like you, if things are going bad in a fight run, get companions, they're troops if nothing else |

| That lord recruited you as a mercenary, you'll receive weekly pay from that faction, but you'll be at war with whoever they are at war with |

Come to think of it, thats because i pledged allegiance to one of the lords. Also bandits are now running from me, so thats good. |

Companions are also nice, yes. They're pretty much troops that you can customize and that don't die.
Also, you're probably getting mercenary pay because you signed with a faction. |

Each companion has morals and stuff, they'll leave if they get 2 mad, luckily that never ever happens ever.

If it ends up being a bit too difficult for you, as a beginner. You can always adjust the difficult in the settings. |
