Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord - Viking/Varangian Playthrough
So besides using Sturgian troops I'm also using Forest Bandits for better archers and Sea Raiders for more Viking troops.
I've signed a mercenary contract with the Western Empire and rather than fight in pitched battles along side the army (because I don't want high casualties for my small warband) I'm just raiding enemy villages for my own profit and damn is it profitable especially when I sell all my looted goods and prisoners.
I aim to cycle in-between mercenary work/raiding (particularly in Imperial lands that are in a three way civil war) and returning north to my safe space Sturgia to help out notables in villages and towns for better relations/money/leveling the Charm skill, get a hold of more troops, getting better gear for me and my companions and investing in workshops and caravans.
Also gotta think about getting married so that I can begin "growing" my clan and eventually establishing a dynasty, for once I eventually get rich and powerful enough off of war and trade I'll establish my own Nordic Kingdom through force and have a crown placed upon my brow.
