Invest first Knowledge Points in Run and Endurance Training. Troop movement in the world is key early on, because you can get much farther in-between rests to save on food/happiness.

Food = happiness. Decide early if you're going to hunt for food, or buy your food with money from bounties. Both routes are viable - for me hunting got a bit grindy so I mostly bought my food once I had money flowing. Fishing/gathering helps supplement, but doesn't replenish often enough to be a primary food source.

You can use chains to capture bandits during battles and turn them into the jail for lucrative rewards. I love this gameplay mechanic - it's a little tricky to get the hang of it and it does make battles slightly harder, but 100% worth that early gold boost.

Check all traveling military merchants. They can sell very nice gear for relatively low prices early on
