Hey guys! I'm very new to cRPG & Warband (3 days now, though I've played tons of beta M&B back in the day). Once I get settled and decide to get on Strategus, I'm very much interest in joining the Caravan Guild. And I'm very interested in being a Merchant, though my lack of experience may mean I'm not qualified for such. Anyways, I have a question concerning the build I'm trying to put together.
Being in the Caravan Guild, should I take Riding? If so, will the bare minimum of 2 (for the Sumpter will suffice)? Or should I go to 5 Riding, which will give me a bunch of options? My build can handle either. It's a versatile build in which I can sacrifice points in Power Throw for Riding. Or maybe go 3 Riding, to have the Rouncey over the very slow Sumpter (cause can change the build to allow me to have 7 PT, 3 Riding).
Or... should I take riding simply because it's a huge advantage in Strategus, and not necessarily because of the Caravan Guild? As mentioned, I've not even begun in Strategus, so I have no idea.
Thanks for any helpful info!
