If you've got a half-decent force that can defend itself, but are hard-strapped for cash, it's the only logical thing to do. Imagine you have built lots of lovely enterprises when all of a sudden the faction in which they are is at war with yours. You've got expensive, elite troops with high wages that need paying. Course' raiding a village or two's worth the trouble. If there's only five or six villages in the game that aren't recruitment hubs, it won't kill you. I just wouldn't want to exceed that number, especially if they're clustered close together.
Most villages will be raided in wartime, AI lords don't need villages to recruit new armies, you do. How many times did this happened to you? You just took a new town or castle after a heavy battle, you lost some troops but even if you haven't lost that much you can't spare troops for the garrison because you have to keep moving, you just need something to put into the new fief so the enemy can't simply take it back 10 seconds after you leave. The rest of your kingdom is a few days riding away both ways, and possibly a lot of your villages have already been raided or you already recruited from them. So you just want to recruit some troops from the villages you just took but nope, you were a **** to them at some point in the past so now none of them want to join you and you are left hanging. Because for me it happened A LOT, in my first play trough, and that's why i stopped doing that, if i need money i will go attack a lord and sell off all that sweet gear, i don't tend to hae any money problems at that point in the game either way.
