Lords going bankrupt/not recruiting men

[Beaowulf]

So as it stands lords who own just castles or just small towns when they loose a battle they respawn with 0 men at their castle right, well due to the extreme amount of bandtits on the map, because they have 0 men, get absolutely destroyed by these bandits and thus the faction cannot fight its wars effectively, I think lords need to spawn with at least 10-15 elite troops as well as bandits should be given party limits. ive seen a band of looters with 72 men, thats insane, lords will be stuck in their castles not able to do anything because of this. hence why alot of people are reporting one faction dominating the map without player interference

I think is this the biggest problem for game balance right now as I am often seeing lords from my faction and others being defeated and kidnapped by looters, mountain bandits, steppe bandits and etc. Because they are running around with only themselves ready to fight in their parties and 30 wounded troops. The troops apparently never recover their health since the lord has no money? Wounded troops not recovering might be another bug that is part of this.

Drapand castle is a particularly bad spot with the sheer number of looters spawning between it and the rest of the world. There are 3 lords of one dynasty who apparently always go back to that castle and become stuck just because of the looters.

King Dethert is constantly being attacked and kidnapped by bandits unless I give him money and escort him around. In this case he had 0 denars and his army was decaying because of it I believe.

I'm on day 240 and the world is kind of in a state of where most factions can barely afford to assemble armies because looters are harassing all these bankrupt lords who can't leave their castles to recruit or collect taxes or whatever they do to make money.
