My first experience with raiding was not a pleasant one: I would spend more money on my soldiers' wages than I would make by plundering villages, and that's just one out many problems I had with this playstyle; But I will not talk about them, because they're not important. What is important is that I eventually found the solutions to ALL of those problems, and their implementation made the outlaw playstyle one of the most enjoyable ways to play this game.
Smithing is still the most overpowered method of earning money, and trading paves the way towards complete world domination, but in terms of fun, roleplaying as the Scum of the Earth ranks number one! Long term planning and winning Mr. Popularity contests aren't really the Raider's specialty, but Bannerlord is a sandbox, not a scripted adventure with just one goal.
So I took everything I learned about raiding and compiled all that info into one MASSIVE Guide, probably over an hour long, I'll know exactly once all its parts are finished and uploaded.
This video is Part 1 of that enormous Raider Guide, and today we talk about what everyone needs to know to get the most out of banditry: the various raiding techniques that actually make this playstyle viable. Extortion, Robbery, Squeezing, Reposession... those are just a few ways of earning a living when you operate outside of Calradian Law.

In part 2 we'll discuss the Rogue Build that I use, as well as the skills I focus on and how I train them. In part 3 we'll take a look at the best troops to recruit into your gang, and part 4 will have various tips and tricks that didn't fit in previous videos. And of course, once this is all done, I'll dedicate some time to Bandit's Ballad, the raider playthrough series that a lot of you have requested.
