Get a stack of peasants, marshal king and pray for iron will skill (or something like that).
Kings get their skills at level three so it doubles the loot value.
The amount of loot you get depends on how developed the settlement is. This includes the buildings in the town that make it better and how many resources it produces. Getting between 1,000 to 1,700 gold for each settlement you raid is considered good.
Multiply that by 6 settlements in a province and you got yourself a startup fund.
Just don’t do that in real life or you will end up a multibillionaire under government protection with prosecutors trying to go after your crimes getting fired for it.
And you wouldn’t want such a terrible fate to befall you now would you?
Also raiding settlements counts as winning battles so it makes your army like you.
Plus it replenishes supplies, and the only other way to do that is to go back to one of your own towns and spending gold on it.
Peasants like the conquering of settlements (for some reason).
Try to keep about 1k gold in treasury in event of a royal child being born, it lets your throw a feast which makes peasants happy and they (plus clergy) are in my opinion both most important to be happy and most difficult to make happy.
When you notice a country engaged in a war, you can participate by entering their territory. If you see an army from another kingdom attacking their lands, move to surround their city. It’s likely that the other army will join you in surrounding the city, especially if there are no other activities available (such as when all settlements have been taken and there are no other cities to surround).
Don’t use marshalls to break discontent (it kills your foreign relations), use a cleric instead, it’s a lot more expensive and can still fail (but it is savescummable, you didn’t hear it from me though).
You can recruit peasant mobs and keep them in your town garrison for an emergency just watch out or that 1 food upkeep will ruin your economy.
