What to do in the beginning of the game
1.
In the beginning, set all of your fields to cows. 1 Cow will provide 5 people food just for being alive. If you want, you can buy grain and plant one or two fields of grain, but most of your fields should be on cows.
2.
In the beginning, set taxes to none to get happiness up. After your happiness is 90-100, you can tax people. You should have enough starting $$ to get started. I usually don't set taxes higher than maybe 6-7%. If I need to scare people off, I can just raise an army. I usually set taxes to 4% and build a cheap castle. in every county.
3.
Unless you're in danger of being attacked by other lords, don't build too much of an army early on. You really don't need much to comquer other colonies, and an army will just drain resources.
