Share Your Ideas of Making Gold!

So, after a long, and expensive trip of running Horse Saddles from Rduna clear down to Fishara in the desert and rejoining my clan elsewhere...it has come to my understanding that many of you have found good ways to make gold, and quickly. While those that are making these larger sums of Gold seem to be primarily trade clans, I'm looking to find out what is typically the best "honest" method of getting the biggest score for your effort!

To share my strategy I just used (it worked, don't get me wrong, just a long process)

1000 Horse Saddles crafted at 25g/1 in Rduna, equipped myself to say "Armed" and then I ran them down through the mountains, through the forest, up over the bridge to grandma's house, to the desert oasis and cashed out at Fishara. It was a slow process, lots of weight in cargo and no speed-bumping horses to ease my burden, but the final payout was ~75,000 gold (only enough to equip about 100 troops fully to tear apart peasant brigades). [[The Crafting took about 3 weeks, if not more, and some were donated for the run...the run took about 3-4 days, in which many trade agreements had to be made so I didn't lose it all]]

SOOOO...I'm drawing this out further than should be, but post some ideas on how you've learned to do what you're doing so I can explore my future options as a Strategus Trade Caravan operator.

Find a village whose crafting base cost is 5 gold.
Preferably find one that's low populated and right next to a village, castle or town whose crafting base cost is 25 gold.
Craft at village A.
Take it to the place with the base cost of 25 and sell it.

Doesn't matter that they're right next door to each other.  You are already making something like 10x your cash.  You don't even need the distance bonus.

Of course, if you don't mind travelling 40km+, you can start getting a sizable travel bonus too.


Anyone crafting anything at a village whose base cost is 25 gold is really scraping the bottom of the barrel of profitability.  You people are seriously, seriously doing it wrong.  That should be a last resort after you've been pushed out of the 5 gold villages.  25 gold is for selling, not crafting.
Crush your enemies; see them driven before you; hear the lamentations of their women.

Yeah I figured I probably did that oddly, but I was stuck at Rduna and pinned there with the war going on around us. So...I crafted Horse Saddles :3

Crate Relocation Services, it's quite profitable.  Only takes a day, and once your done, you will walk away with a wide smile knowing you did something good for yourself.

1) Craft enough goods to buy lots of stones. 2) Recruit a few troops. 3) Attack small caravans. 4) Accept people with high athletics. 5) Spread out on the battlefield, run around, get some dudes to flank the flags, get slinger squads to kite the enemy. 5)Profit.
