Have lots of money (a few million). Have a enough income to cover your expenses. This is also a good time to let that main quest expire because it is fubar. You can create a kingdom without that crappy banner. Yeah, at the moment I've 4 groups, 5 castels and 3 cities, but I think at this point that I lack in money, being at 400K coins. You could declare war and make peace "in person" with lord on campaign map, no tribute for either side this way. Find lord of a faction you are paying tribute to, defeat him in battle, propose peace in kingdom menu, they should be paying you now instead, since you won 1 field battle. CptBoneArrr.

Just resist the urge to keep upgrading your troops to max tier. A top tier soldier gets twice the wage of a mid-tier but is not twice as powerful. One way to make consistent cash is to set up a profitable Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord workshop. That's not the only business you can set up, however, but your decision to choose a workshop i9z38.
