Here are some silly ways to make a lot of money using workshops. (Image credit: TaleWorlds) Establishing a monopoly and other stupid workshop tricks (You can’t directly stock your Workshops, or level them up, in the current Early Access release.) This means that starting certain workshops in certain Towns is a good way to ensure you make money-a Town like Askar, with its three grain-producing Villages, is a natural site for a Brewery, while Pen Cannoc has lots of clay, so it does well with a Pottery Shop. Rampaging enemy armies will also loot and burn villages, stopping the flow of goods and potentially setting the entire town back economically.Įach day, workshops take input goods from their town’s market and create their output goods. This can all be complicated by groups of looters and bandits that stop and rob the villager groups, preventing the goods making it to market. When in doubt, wait near the village for its people to leave, then follow them to their destination.

The products of a town’s associated villages will generally be cheaper in that town, but there are exceptions: Extremely prosperous towns eat up nearly all food that comes in, keeping food prices high regardless. Between two and eight villages correspond to each town, and people from those villages travel to the town regularly to sell their products-mouse over nearby villages to see the tooltip showing what they produce.

Also, here are the best locations for each business (I’ve made 200-500 denars a day with these locations): Here are the best workshop types, what they produce, the raw materials they require. Look for telltale signs like ragged clothes and beggars: settlements with this might indicate that this isn't the best place to invest… unless your product is going to be cheap.
