You can make up to 100,000 thaler per trip. Get caravan of velvet in the east and sell it to the west (like from Sich to Novgorod, you wanna buy for ~100-150 each, sell for 800+). The game needs serious balancing unfortunately You have what you are lucky enough to come across, that's it. Killing 45 bandits will net you like, 300
The prices in Fire and Steel are what is killing me
