this is where you are mistaken because i made a report on this issue and devs specifically mentioned that kingdom can run out of money and go bankrupt, as a matter of fact in some of the previous betas tw did changed certain things to prevent this from happening early on.

it's a fact - kingdoms can't go bankrupt
I saw it with my own eyes and specifically followed it

Hasn't he previously complained about ai kingdom running out of money and going broke?
Suggesting ignoring it does not make sense to me. This another example that npc lords are just some kind of entity in the game just for player to fight against or to call them to your armies. Sitting with your army while your faction land burns and npc lords in my army or other lords in my faction do not have any means to counter my actions just because I have enough influence to do so. I mean, this is bull****. Even Warband had a mechanic to counter this.
This is what you refer to, @Althix ?
That makes sense. I did not notice this maybe because I avoid to gather too much force in my army but I think there should be other things which increase the amount of influence spent to increase cohesion like controversy in Warband.

There should be penalties but the way the AI works is he has complete trust in you when you are a friendly.
Basic logic if you're going to vassal for fiefs
Sure, basic
I disagree and often skip leadership all together and have hundreds of noble troops filling my garrisons much sooner in the game then what you're doing. Like by the time you have 150 leadership I have a faction of fiefs full of em.
I know I know, "this is just how I play and my topic", well it's discussion time in topic vile
Yeah I call it a BANNERLORD FEIST, to get that leadership fast, old news, I do it too if I'm a vassal to finish getting 175 sooner, but I don't smith because it's boring and completely not needed in anyways.
The when you get 175 leadership you disband the army and lave the kingdom and immediately take down the bulk of the faction on the spot because they were in you army in front of town.
It's called playing the game
Being a vassal is so boring and easy though.
I think it is just because over the course of the last year of EA, the balance has shifted quite bit. It is relatively easy to get a horde of influence going but back in May or June of 2020, it was an actual struggle at times. There was one busted influence-generating policy (CotC, 1 influence per notable in all your fiefs) but there was another, more common, policy that routinely dragged players into the negatives on influence (Lawspeakers).
Now that it is a bit smoother to gather influence we see players with enough of it to maintain armies of all the clan leaders in their kingdom, which should be draining their influence stocks but isn't for whatever reason.
Did you know that all Kingdoms have a Kingdom budget?
All AI-Lords who has more than 30.000 Denare pays into the Kingdom Budget and all Ai-Lords who has less than 30,000 Denare get money from Kingdom Budget.
So even a Kingdom has for a long time no fiefs, their Kingdom Budget can be really big and the bigger the Kingdom Budget is, the longer they get money.
AI does need money, but the AI can have perks(same perks the player can have) they reduce the wages for troops and they get money from the Kingdom Budget.
This "exploit" is extremely gamey. I do not think the devs could write something in the game rules to block you from doing this. If you want a challenge play without the cheesy stuff. If the devs tried to block your playstyle, they might inadvertently hurt the rest of us, that do not play that way.
They wrote it eleven years ago.
In what a previous version of the game? I never played those, so I cannot comment on how feasible that would be with this game's engine or not.
In Warband, we had controversy mechanic for marshalls.
mountandblade.fandom.com
Marshall
The Marshall is the military commander of a faction. The title defaults to the Monarch, but will generally be assigned to one of the Vassals of that faction. In the original game, the King periodically calls a vote to choose the new marshall. Two candidates will be listed and every other lord of...

You could still effectively sabotage a faction via high Honor and "you should go here and do (something really stupid)." You could circumvent the entire marshall mechanic that way.In Warband, we had controversy mechanic for marshalls.

you should be able to sabotage a kingdom, just not in such a stupid way with the AI being bots and not being able to react to the ludicrous events around them, if they can't make a controversy system, they could at least add increasing values to making/maintaining armies for extended periods of time, and cohesion should drop very quickly after they begin to starve.
still makes more sense than locking yourself and other lords inside a castle and doing a diet feast to destroy a kingdom, how can I roleplay that? the mad king rp?
I pretty sure you already know these Apocal. I just copy paste these to make a point.

At least, I have to roleplay a honorable fool to make lords do stupid things. But right now, as soon as I join a kingdom, I can summon a ruler clan party or a tier 6-5 clan party to my army just because I farmed 30 bandit party or so. This does not make any sense to me. This influence system needs a rework, imho.

omg
when you have an army of 1500 troops, you just take the quests "help with the bandits" and JOIN all the bandits to himself
when you finish with a leadership of 150 and a smithing of 330, you will have three towns with +600 forest bandits t4
this is the IMMORTAL reinforcement of the Battania archers (or Khuzaits guards, etc)
but of course, you can collect defective classic T4-T5 troops, that's your business
I know what the developers wanted to do, but they did not succeed - AI does not go bankrupt, AI does not need money
do as I do, take all the fiefs from any kingdom, and see what happens to him for 3-5-10 years - you will be very surprised
