Really politics is the other front to attend to. Traditionally old school D&D characters of a certain level often made themselves lords, and I had one in 5e who carved out a little barony for himself and got it populated by refugees. Campaigns often involve abandoned locations which local authorities are seemingly powerless over, so after clearing the zombies out of the old tower or whatever who's to stop you from making it your castle? Once your party gets to a certain level your DM will be happy to give you all something to waste money on.Depending on the setting you might also run for some sort of public office, or get yourself appointed to some military of civilian post by whomever holds power.The most important characters to influence are the other player characters because if their characters wouldn't want to spend time and energy supporting your ascent, than the other players are not going to let the group's game time be spent on it.  Be careful that the rest of the group is having fun with building your character up. If whatever you're doing also provides them with opportunities and spotlight time you'll probably be fine. If it just becomes the you show probably less so.</blockquote>
