"The Fate of Tiltren" Has been decided <3

[Tanyon]

Just finished the first area.. well actually the last battle where I have to defend the merchant is giving me problems.. but I'm trying to lvl still.

Is there anyways to level up new recruits? Or just through combat with my other guys?

How does XP get distributed? through the entire party or only those who participated?

I have a party with 2 Alpha Wolves and 8 men/women.

I have 5 days worth of food and 3,085G.

So I guess I'm ready to set off.. very excited.. Loving the game now that I understand more.

you can hire at higher levels by leveling up your main party, so gradually you'll notice tavern recruits go up a level
There's 5 free units not in taverns which can be gained at level 11 if you wanted but that's a long haul, If your guys are around level 7 now? It's quite a long road to get them at 11 this run, so maybe leave them for your next restart and grab them at level 7-9 as suits you
You prob already have 2 of them anyway, torus and hackert from tiltren

There is a training dummy that gives xp per rest to one unit, you can get that from the Arena
shop after winning the battles there

Xp is equal to fighting troops afaik and 80% xp to non combatants in camp, pack ponies

Time for you to get at least one of the other legendary weapons, maybe all of them

How you have that much gold? Exploiting selling the itens and killing the merchants after? Because i have a party of 9 mercs and two ponys and no gold. Done all the missions in the area.

Once you start traveling to other regions gold becomes extremely easy to generate by taking trade goods (crates of pottery, pelts, silver, etc) from one town to another.

I got all this before I left the region.

I started to steal a meal once a day, get the iron from the mines every few days, take 3 or 4 bounties at a time and sometimes negotiate for a higher price and everyday buy all the goods you can from the city and trade them to a merchant. I've never killed a single merchant or guard that wasn't part of a quest.

You can set up a trade route between stromkapp and cortia as one of the first actions you take in game with just two pitons and just go back and forth buying and selling trade goods and taking only those battles reasonably on the way.

Most of our money comes from trade, and some from quests. The bard is a good auxillary source too. Currently working on getting all mercs to Companion in several professions.

At this point, we could buy all 4 kingdoms. A sheepfold costs 100 Krowns, so we could pay for 900 of them.
We can certainly exterminate their entire armies. Champions don't survive a full round against the squad.

I've been playing a LONG time. This playthrough is over 90 hours in. Have not done the Vertruse questlines or the Arthes ones either.

In the end-game, I faced the problem - no place to spend money.
All the best weapons are equipped, all perks are improved, I have hundreds of each resource, thousands of carrying capacity, and enough stamina to cross all maps from one side to another twice per day.

But generally main sources of income without any exploits:
- trading between cities
- stealing everything instead buying and resale stolen goods
- knocking out the best prices for contracts
- selling prisoners to jail

I have 1.500 gold but now i am in the second region, Cotia. Never done the trading before, now i understand.

Piton, you mean the Ponys right? And that is not one of the first action you can do in the game. You need at least 200 gold to cross the border or do the final quest of the region.

No, he means the pitons. If you explore the mountains in the vicinity of the border crossing between Tiltren and Cortia, and you know how to use pitons made from iron ore and rope, you can cross that barrier.
It will cost you 6? Krowns to buy rope ( one length) and one lump of ore you found.

Suggest you play around with the pitons to get a feel of how they work. Very cool game mechanic.

go near a cliff face, in this case the one over the gate house you want to bypass
Click the piton( a single picton) and see where it let you place it on the cliff, then you can climb down and back up later , only worth it in the very early game
Just pay the paltry 200 once you can and use the gate

But pictons in general are a great asset for lots of places

no the piton, to place one on each side of the border crossing from the cliff over looking the border crossing, so you can go from stromkapp to cortia for free until you can either afford the 200 krowns easily or have a border pass

To win more hard battles i use spears boars for off tank and brutes plus swords with intercept massive damage i use normal wep crafted or drop from merchants guards, dont have to many character like me. I bring to battle 30 units and it takes long to win battles
