Suggestion: Make it so you can capture the lords and torture them to try and force them to give up gold or settlements. Also, you could make it so if they are weak and you torture them enough they will become your servant and pledge allegiance to you and your king. Kinda like what Ramsay did in Game of Thrones when he tortured Theon and made him become reek.
This would be way too overpowered. Capturing a lord means a couple torture clicks and you get free land.
Free land with consequences. People don't really look kindly to a lord that tortures his peers and would probably retaliate if they have an option. Also, don't expect any mercy if you are captured. Forget ever getting any help and beware if your former captive becomes part of your faction and starts politicking against you.I don't see an issue with (public) torture to teach your opponents a lesson as long as it has proper repercussions. At the same enemy lords shouldn't be piñatas which drop gold when you hit them. Rather, the public torture is a way to... convince, their family that accepting that rather hefty ransom of ceding a part of their lands might be the better option after all.
the torture into submission part seems to be a bit silly and unsuitable. The proper way to "convince" a prisoner to become your vassal is not by torturing them until they break but by trading them for hostages which you then treat generously as long as your vassal does the same with you.
