Medieval Dynasty – How to Make Money

Tips for Making Money

Сrеdit gоеs to brown29knight !

Early game I explore and clear bandits. Nothing like finding a cart with 3 full wine bottles and a perfume. That’s a thousand coin right there. (and there is about 4 places on the current map that cart can spawn) Or killing 2 bandits and finding 3 dried figs in a barrel, and a coverlet on the ground.

I’ll make 2-3k coin, plus food for me, each season doing this, while I go from town to town flirting with all the women to level my diplomacy skill and look for a good wife.

I continue to do that while it is just me and my chosen wife, while I do all the story quests. (I wait until I have 3 levels of diplomacy to do the story quests, because they can give hundreds or thousands of dynasty points, and 60% more of that is pretty huge)

That usually takes me around 2 years, and I’ll have about 20k coin when I’m ready to start building up my city. During this time I’ll plant an orchard, and after 2 years to grow, it will provide steady cash each summer for no work other than picking the fruit.

I’ll use that money to get a self-sufficient homestead going, with hunters bringing in meat, a well for water, and woodcutters getting logs.

I’ll make/buy wooden bowls, and buy cabbage, and make potage with the meat+cabbage. This both feeds my people, and sells very well for the time it takes to make. (Note, I make the potage, not villagers)

From there, My village will vary depending on my goals for it. My latest city has no farm at all, but 60 Apiaries. (and needs more now that the children are growing up) We got rid of the well, and provide all food and drink via honeycomb. We also sell honeycomb at food stalls. We produce about 20k honeycomb per year beyond what we eat and sell, and we make about 80k coin per year at the food stalls.

• Before that, I had a meadery, making and selling mead.
• Before that, a sprawling orchard town, with a couple thousand trees.
• Before that, a mixed-farm, growing every possible crop,
• Before that, a mining town with all the mines being worked, and 6 smithies going full time making iron tools.
• Before that, a dairy farm with lots of cattle, growing the grains needed for animal feed, while making cheese for the whole valley.
