How to make money!

[PershsNhpios]

I am currently retrying the Casse.
I thought not having to manage a large empire from the beginning would be the way to start off.

I am playing on Medium campaign difficulty.. I am on my 6th turn, and those northern tribes are sitting right on the border...

Thank you for the advice, I was going to play Lusotania at first, however I got sidetracked with the western tribes.
If I fail in the north I will move south!

I was wondering if some might help by writing here their strategies in general for making money, their priorities and how they deal with the great threat of the Independents?

Casse are the ones with the most threat from the independents ;).
