Expert Trade Guide - Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord
9,336The strategies described in my advanced trade guide are no longer enough to help you prosper, not after the political reforms that changed the economy for the worst. As such, I feel it is my obligation to share all of the cutthroat corporate tactics that helped me lay the foundation for my own medieval megacorp, and eventually dominate the world.

If I could change one thing about this video I'd try to not repeat the stuff I've already said in my previous guides, but at the same time, I felt that was the only way of completing the gaps I've left due of my ignorance at the time.
While working on this video, I realized I could have split all the info between 4 separate videos, maybe more. That would've taken less time and effort, allowing for more frequent uploads and possibly more watch time, as people are more likely to click on a 10 minute video than on a 40 minute video. But a mega-tutorial is an entirely different experience altogether, and I'm proud of how this one turned out. If it doesn't perform well however, I will have to resort to doing my videos like that, from now on. The overall quality would be lower, but that's what youtube prefers.
This video was supposed to be out 3 hours earlier, but the project was so complex that it couldn't be rendered correctly and was full of errors. I fixed all of the problems I've faced, but knowing my luck, some other problems arised in the second version of the video. Let me know if anything looks out of place. There's nothing I can do about it, but I'm not watching this video again. 20 times is enough.
I had no inspiration about what thumbnail to use for this video, so I just took the mobile games approach: level 1 thug, level 15 gangster, level 35 boss. I think it represents the trader playstyle pretty well.
