once that is done, you can do what ever you want knowing you have a wallet to support it. You can also do some mini trading to get maximum profit out of enterprises. eventually, you will have become the wealthiest man in calradia (or any other map) at this point i suggest buying an enterprise in every city, depending on your wealth buy the best one. every manhunter class has blunt weapons excellent for taking prisoners, and higher tier manhunters will be mounted meaning you keep the S P E E D. hire these men, and then fight more bandit parties. if you want to make extra cash go after bandit parties with manhunters as prisoners. when you saved up some money buy a few cheap horses, they will counter act encumberance (items in inventory) 5 is the max i believe, after that it counter acts the counter acting. just get the lowest tier, doesn't matter what faction as long as they aren't too bad, this will increase map speed even more.
(spotting can be helpfull but i often dont find it all too usefull, pathfinding is a better choice) when upgrading units take cavalry.
get a small band, focus on pathfinder, trade and a bit of spotting. find a good deal for a product that is in large supply. I don't trade often but i suggest, to asses prices.
