Do you think that population must be a thing?
I think that if it will be well implemented, it will sort out and balance some problems with constant wars and lords having magical armies.
For example the settlements might have limited number of population and some % of this number could be eligible for army (no children, no most of the women and elders). The population should rise over time and maybe prosperity could do something about this. Maybe collection of factors like food availability too.
Recruitment must not be the magical thing neither for player character, nor for NPC lord. It can make town blockades much more meaningful and fun too and lord will "think twice" before gathering an army and rush to all-vs-all meaningless wars.
