If you’re new to the game, then I will do my best to advise character creation to make the game (slightly) easier. If you have a character you like from a previous build of ACOK, go ahead and import. In this guide, I will teach you about many of the ways to make money in ACOK in order to be successful and dominate Westeros and Essos.
I personally found ACOK to be EXTREMELY difficult in the early game, and that’s one every easy mode (1/4 damage, 1/2 damage to allies, poor AI combat, etc.). For me, going bankrupt ends in me reverting to a previous save. You need money to pay your troops, buy new ones, buy food, buy armor for your poor pathetic companions, and ultimately to buy Champion Plated Warhorses for your elite lvl 50 companions. In ACOK, I find the limiting factor in success is primarily income.
