You can totally do a mix of both strategies, but it is harder in my experience so I normally just focus on either being hated and rich with an army, or a somewhat honorable thief who makes less money, but can climb the political ladder, and kill his enemies with subletly, and stealth, It definetly takes longer, but I find the game more enjoyable and i feel like robin hood, plus it is a less stressful game, you dont have to worry about much, the businesses basically run themselves, and you aren’t constantly worried about going to court before your army is ready. So build your rogue for the map you are attempting. Big maps are amazing for tolling, and waylaying because you aren’t becoming fast enemies with everyone on the map, and you can get rich quick tolling. Smaller maps need more diplomacy, because you cant rely on your tolls, and waylaying as much. So you have to build your character somewhat strategically for the map you are gonna play.

Both strategies will work, but if you want to try a one town map, with only 2 other dynasties your gonna have a bad time with being a hated scoundrel. Or for those that love to live on the edge you can amass an army and take any town by force. In my trials with the rogue I have found there is two surefire ways to win, you can either do things diplomatically and stay away from tolling, and waylaying. There is gonna be some times where you are gonna have to make some decisions yourself, I cant cover EVERYTHING, but Im gonna give you the basic framework to succeed. Its a whole new gameplay experience, but I found the info out there pretty basic to learning the class, So Im gonna do a step by step guide on how to win two ways with the rogue.

So I figured I would give the rogue a shot, and was almost immediately hooked.

I was bored with the craftsman, and i didn’t find the other classes all that compelling to play, I tried them all for a game or two, but I didnt enjoy them that much, the gameplay seemed really close to the craftsman. I started with the rogue class about 40 hrs of play time ago. To start things off, I will tell you why I am writing this.
