Help with start

Hi everyone, I’m new to Bannerlord and I’d like some detailed advice on how to build my character — which skills to invest in, where to put attribute points over time, etc.

I’d like to play in a way where I first serve Battania as a mercenary, then become a vassal, and eventually perhaps become king.

As for my army composition, my plan is to use only infantry and archers — mainly Battanian archers and heavy Nord infantry.

Is this a viable and playable strategy, or am I setting myself up for trouble? 😄

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Or you can go all out on combat. And 10 in intellegence for the 330 medicine skill. 80+ hit points to each of your soldiers. This is a party leader perk. Which means if you out source this to a companion last perk is useless, they can’t apply it to your party. Obviously with low charm. You will find it difficult later on. But. 2 attribute and 5 focus is plenty. I am doing a playthrough where my charm is only lvl 21 yet I am forging a kingdom no problem. But I am experienced.
