My meta is have only 3 guys for the first 50 days, amass tons of money, buy armor protection, then start hiring other guys.
It's pretty though and some battles are make or break but at least you get to level 11 way faster instead of having 12 shit brothers who cannot be relied upon. Just accept the cargo and caravan mission, with the cavavan, let the NPC get mauled by the direwolves, attack later, with spears of course since you have like 60% chance to hit without them. Once one of your guy is level 11, you can use him to train your other guys to level 11 in 3 battles. Step one, get the trainee a training lesson of +33% exp for 3 battles, step 2, find an easiest battle, step 3 use your good brother with a 2her sword and multi-hit kill all the enemies, perhaps give some kills to the newbie with a spear but don't risk too much. This method can yield 1000-3000 exp to the newbie. It used to be next to impossible to level up someone to lvl11 with 200exp per battle, with this it changes everything.
