The only way to fund your future conquests is with productive enterprises. VC is much more expensive than Native and you will need money to do literally anything and lots of it. The goal at the beginning of the game is to only rise through the social hierarchy but to build a solid foundation for your future kingdom.

This can be avoided by taking off stat reducing gear right before you reach level 13.f For example if you had 7 power strike and 8 athletics and wanted tough but you were wearing a scale lorica which reduces athletics more than it does power strike you might end up with berserker instead. mail, helmets, etc.) will reduce athletics and power strike and does have an effect on which trait you get. Keep in mind that wearing heavy equipment (i.e. I'm inclined to dislike berserker as I think the bonus is overkill so it's a net loss to use it because the drawback is so annoying. Which one is best really comes down to personal preference. Your men fight more fiercely (I'm not sure if this improves moral are makes then do more damage). Inspiring: Leadership, you can shout a warcry in battle. Additionally, your men become faster in battle. Additionally, your men become harder to wound in battle.ДЄthletics: Tough, you gain the ability to start a shield taunt in battle. Ironflesh: Strong, you gain the ability to start a shield taunt in battle.

Power Strike: Berserker, you temporarily gain more power strike and athletics after which you will be temporarily exhausted and only inflict half damage. Companions still are your best option for all the intelligence based party skills.ДЄt level 13 in VC you will gain a trait which will is essentially an extra ability in battle that you can activate be pressing 'T.' Which trait you get depends on which skill of the four trait determining skills is the highest and they are as follows: It's weighted a little less heavily in character creation meaning that you can get a couple more 'free' points of intelligence than you can of the other stats. Intelligence is the worst stat but it's still more viable than in Native. Getting 9 riding and zooming around on a horse is quite fun. I'd say strength is slightly better but it's not your only option. It isn't as high as strength, but also allows you to get some top-tier party skills really high.

As a result athletics and weapons mastery will have a very noticeable impact on your damage output, particularly with pierce weapons. Weapon speed has a higher impact on damage in VC than it does in Native. Strength is better for combat overall but VC differs from Native in that agility builds can also be quite useful. Having a strong combat character is both useful in that you can heavily influence the outcome of a battle and generally makes the game more fun. Strength and agility are more of a toss up. You will need to have a big army in this game and that requires persuasion to build and leadership to maintain. You don't need an absurdly high charisma to be successful but having a reasonable amount will greatly improve your quality of life. The most important attribute in VC is charisma. As such I recommend using this guide to optimize your character. This means that your starting attributes matter much more than they do in Native while your starting skills won't make any difference past a certain level. You will also gain two skill points per level instead of the single point you would receive in Native. Secondly, you can raise a skill up to half of the value of the relevant attribute rather than the one-third in Native. You get your first point at level 6 and will get an additional point at levels 11, 16, 21, and so on. Firstly, while your starting attributes are much higher, you only gain a new attribute point every five levels. In a general sense, character creation in VC follows the same general rules in Native. I'm assuming that anyone playing VC already has a basic knowledge of Native. This is a Guide to the Mount & Blade Viking Conquest (VC) mod.
