Ranior is quite the beast when it comes to the game so definitely go with his recommendations for filling it. But if you're ever able to score a Knarr and your opponents aren't going for grey tiles, you can fill it pretty efficiently with this setup below.
Nah, this is a pretty good plan as well. Particularly because Knarrs and many of the smaller grey tiles aren't as contested in the early game. Maybe a few by raiding, but in general the pillaging players are after some of the more valuable ones. My plan above is pretty fragile and requires tremendous luck. This looks a bit slower but far safer so I think this is another reasonable way to go at it.
Ultimately even at that you can see how tough it is to work Faroe though--buying those tiles and putting silver on your board will cost you most of your early income whereas other islands are much more forgiving and flexible.
