Yeah the economy is not good at all right now. Workshops & caravans could be a lot better and armor prices are off the wall, 30k for something that costs 1k in warband. Those issues will be fixed eventually but for now you just have to either deal with them or download some mods. snipars_exe. Vlandia. Easiest way to make money in Bannerlord. Helpful Tip. Smithing.
