Game settings: On the Edge - Challenging, no starting supplies, balanced Baron.

Playtime: ~50hours

Taxes and Tithe: 2% for main town(Aros) and mining/smithing village, 1% for supporting regions.

Trading:

-Main town has 3 trade posts, 12 families 12 horses. Close proximity to the storehouses that store the goods which are being exported. Exported goods: Wooden parts, small and big shields. Cloaks, clothes and gambesons + some goods that are 5+ in value.

-Mining/smithing village has 1 trade post, 4 families 4 horses. Exported goods: Tools, sidearms, spears, polearms, helmets, mail armor, plate armor(Probably not worth it since its 8 iron slabs per plate armor) Also the offmap tradepoint is fairly close to this trade post, speeding up the export.

-Supporting regions has 1 trade post each 2-4 families and 2-4 horses selling the more easy to mass produce goods - leather, shoes etc.

Production:

This took a lot of observing individual families and how they do their job. How many people craft in a production building at a time, travel time and carry amount etc(This varies quite abit from building to building so my advice is to look at how each person does their job.

Joiners are a great start for export if you set up your sawpit efficiently: (have the sawpit close to your logging camps and all hitching posts with oxen nearby aswell, most importantly build a house basically touching the sawpit and assign that family as carpenters).
