I am playing on deadly without loading , like it will be with iron man modus . And i never do noble house contracts , they are just too hard . I have to admit though , i didnt get even close to max level with any of my guys yet . I had several runs up to day 100 , but then things seem to get tougher and i do some mistakes or encounter new stuff . Like last time , i actually accepted a goblin contract because it looked rather easy . But then they had prepared a trap for me and instead the skirmishers , ambushers and the overseer , there been lots of wolfriders who had sourrounded me :P
Maybe a tip for harry : goblin bows work badly during night :)
