For a number of reasons, the online community of Bannerlord is suffering and few servers are reaching population cap during peak playing hours. A number of servers don't get populated at all and several gamemodes are unavailable to a number of regions. OCE doesn't have access to Skirmish or Captain Mode and I'm under the impression that there are no dedicated SA servers whatsoever.
To give players something to do to kill time while waiting is to add 5-10 bots per side of varying skill to TDM. This allows players to practice combat in their own region and servers would never feel empty, stimulating play. I understand that committing the resources to extra servers for low population regions could be too costly. Unfortunately, if TW does nothing, the playerbase will not thrive despite how the new combat and content feels. What are other good ways to encourage active players other than sales/free weekends? The game is in a really fun spot right now and it sucks to see so few people on MP
