Start with (and stick with) Warband. Prepare yourself for a god awful UI and very sketchy, decade-old graphics. If you can work through both, you'll be rewarded with a very engrossing, addictive experience. After you have some time under your belt you can look at available mods and decide if any of them tickle your fancy. Some are quite robust, although I've yet to find one I'd universally endorse.

1. Mount And Blade War Band Floris Right To Rule

Trading goods is a great way to make money in Mount & Blade: Warband. In this post, you learn example price ranges and thresholds (to buy under X, to sell over Y) for the most profitable goods.

As for what to do...start slow, take baby steps. Go to the arena for some risk free weapons practice. When outside, avoid strong groups until you have some experience under your belt...stick to Swadia and fight only the most feeble groups of enemies until you've amassed some wealth, gotten some better armor, upped your skills and leveled some followers. Then you can move on to Forest and Mountain Bandits and start raiding their lairs for better loot. You can do some courier quests for various lords, and tax collection, but resist the urge to become a mercenary or (god forbid) a bondsman, you're not ready. Once you have 30-50 reasonably seasoned followers and a few companions with you, and are reasonably well geared and comfortable with the combat, you can graduate to Sea Raiders and the other more advanced bandit types.

When you get to around 100 followers, you're ready to sign on with a Lord, and then the game opens up. You'll get villages you'll need to build up and defend, and tax payments from your serfs. You'll eventually graduate to towns you need to garrison. You can marry, and hold feasts for your fellow lords to curry favor. Eventually if you get really ambitious you can start your own faction, but at 200 hours into the game I never got that far.
