Arwa the pearled one, just kill the others!

The "stealing enemy lord" is usually the best way to have an ennemy faction wage war against you. I've used it twice in my game ( against the Khergits and Rhodoks), and both times, those factions declared war against me in less than two days.
Just try, while doing so, to convince someone with a family member in your faction, this way, you strengthen your own faction.

Having played M&B Warband numerous times ( in different games), I found out that there is no "supreme" faction in this game, neither a "weak" faction. I've seen Sarranids own the Khergits and Rhodoks a lot of time, and I've also seen them fall down against those two foes. And it is the same for pretty much any faction.
Usually tought, the Sarranid do just fine, even without my help. They keep on going in alternate wars with the Khergits and Rhodoks, manage to claim Narra and Unzdaq from the Khergits, while they keep taking then losing Almerra and Weyyah from the Rhodoks.
My longest game as a "neutral" character was about 482 in game days, the Khregits wipped out Swadia completely, while the Sarranids managed to take Narra and Halmar, tought they lost Weyyah castle to the Rhodoks.
I created an independent faction in Khregit territory then, and took all of their Swadian lands, while the Sarranid helped take down the last Khregit lands, I wonder how the war would have ended if I didnt make my claim then...

I believe it's Harlaus, that guy feast's so much without getting bankrupt... Must be rich...

Well, congratulation! ( Even tought I'm trully surprised  To get Yalen in one go with only that much injuries, how many men were in there? What about difficulty settings ? )
However, as Captain_Octavius suggest, the best option is to expand in Rhodok land. In the latest game I played by taking Yalen first, I quickly took Maras Castle, Etrosq Castle and Culmarr Castle, wich I gave to lezalit, Matheld and Bahestur, then, I marched for Ergellon castle, alone while my newly appointed lords were preparing their armies, and I followed by taking Veluca and Grunwalder, thus establishing a powerfull nation.

By the way, try to do as much harm as possible to the Rhodoks before other factions wage war against you!

Well... If you go for Yalen, I would wait until the Rhodoks are trully under too much pressure ( There are times when Swadians and Sarranid attack them at the same time). As I said, youre army will probably have a lot of casualties, and losing that battle is a high possibilty ( That's why I said that its trully hard to take), begin by seeing how much sharpshooters and X-bowmen the Rhodok stack there actually, if they have more than 30~35 Sharpies, just forget about taking Yalen  (wich they usually tend to have).

During the siege, I would recommend you to stay as far as possible from the walls and order youre archers to shoot so as to clean the wall. If the ranged battle seems to be at youre disadvantage, send the totality of youre infantry to charge, once you yourseld are at the walls, go directly for the Sharpshooters and take them down.

If you manage to hold the town, you should get a good garrison of at least 50~75 Sharphooters, however, nords are better as infantry so recruit and train as much Huskarls as possible.

 

Just made me remember my last bloody siege battle at the doors of Almerra castle and its 75 Rhodok sharpshooters... Lost over 30 Huskarls, 40 Swadian Knights, 10 Mamlukes and 40 Sarranid Master Archers...

So yeah... Rhodoks are surely the hardest to take down!

True, Polearm infantry tend to use their shields too much, while they would do better off with just bracing their lances!

By the way, Khergits are indeed scary in siege battles ( Mostly when defending, unless when they use the "going down the ladder of slaughtering", wich they tend to do... a lot), but Rhodoks and nords usually manage to overpower them at the long term.

actually, their stats are surpassed only by those of the Nords. it's their equipment that sucks (polearms and spiked staves with shields is possibly the most retarded weapon combo in this game).

Hmm, The easiest towns to take and hold are actually Barriye, Khudan, Praven, Yalen and Dhirim. ( From the easiest to the most difficult).

Barriye is the sarranid city at the edge of the map, with three villages surrounding it for quick replenishment of youre garrison, and due to the desert and the big distance between it and the other sarranid towns ( Ahmerrad being at one day and a half for most army's), it is by far the  easiest one to hold.

Khudan can also prove to be a good city, at the heart of the vaegir lands, the pesence of a lot of tundra bandits surrounding it will usually make flee most lonely lords. Its presence inside of the vaegir kingdom will make most of the other factions think twice before attacking you, and even if they do so, they will usually end up journeying for over three to four days in average, giving you enough time to prepare. However, and if you are to take it, you will need to turn some of youre companions into lords right away and give them the surrounding villages, to prepare for a quick invasion of vaegir castles surrounding it.

Praven is usually tought of as a hard to hold city for it being surrounded by swadian castles and being near Suno... Actually, Swadians are really bad at siege assaults so you will easily get rid of their first attacking army, after that; you just need to march for the neighbouring castles ( Tevarin and Ryibelet), so as to have a nice base right inside enemy lands.

As for Yalen, it is trully hard to take ( Rhodok castles and cities are always hard to take), however, this can also proove to be at youre own advantage, as you will find it quiet easy to protect, I wouldnt recomend you to go for it tought,  as surrounding castle are trully hard to take and rhodoks are just way too good in siege battle.

Finally Dhirim is by far the easiest to take as it is usually the object of a lot of siege battles, and thus never having a strong enough garrison ( I even saw it change hands between four factions in less than two days). Its position ( Right at the middle of the map), makes it quiet the rich town, however, it will also turn into the most difficult to hold and you usually end up in war with ALL the other factions. If you are to go for it, leave it as soon as you took it and march for Senuzgda, Derchios, Reindi, Kelredan and Tilbaut castle, if you have a good engineer, you shall be able to take at least Senuzgda and Derchios before the enemy retaliate, give them to companions and prepare to defend against... A lot of enemies.

Seeing as you use mostly Nord troops, I dont think you will find problems in taking any town, however, holding them against all the factions will be another story. I would recommend you to take Barriye first, recruit nords and rhodoks en masse ( easier done by using the diplomacy recruitement system), and train them into sharpshooters and Huskarls. A good 250 top tier garrison shall be enough in the begining, with a 40% infantry/ 60% archers ratio.

By the way, dont begin youre attack unless youre enemy is already at war against one or more powerfull factions.

Hope this can be of help.

My actual kingdom army is at 8300+.

As for the vassals problem,yYou just need to always have some villages left without lords. I usually leave 4+ villages without any appointed lord so as to give them to any newcomers.

As most answers already suggest it, horseback melee is all about the camera Angle.

When fighting against unmounted troops, you should always look down, also, if you and/or the target are running, you have to release the strike one horse step before reaching the enemy unit, don't forget to be looking down, you may change the trajectory of the strike even after the release ( for a brief time), making you able to hit them.

Actually, try to begin you're training while using long ranged swords ( such as most two handers), I hardly recommend the two handed saber as it is by far the easiest two hander to use when in horse back.

Once you've got it right, you can go on for shorter/swifter blades, daggers and axes being really hard to use at first hand.

As for lances in horseback, fighting at one person view while trying to do couched lance can proove really usefull, and dont worry if you dont get it right at the begining, since most players can't always land a hit with lances ( mostly with "normal" strikes).

Before getting killed in front of a rhodok or a Nord castle? 

You've got a nice story there, Alissa seems truly "human", and even tought she's a warrior, we still find in her a true women. As for the lustfull men... I can't help but understand their lustfull tought when seeing such a beauty 

Looks like you're savegame is broken...
