If the aim is to play through generations, It won't work like this, i mean, in 2/3 years everything is done already.
In all my gameplays (4 so far)
Battania eats the western empire,
Southern Empire eats up the Aserai very early on.
Then those two go to war, which is fairly even most of the time.
Battania also eats Vlandia after a while, While Southern empire is able to take on khuzait.
Sturgia barely ever changes, while Northern Just give settlements to Battania and Khuzait which in turn get taken over by the southern empire.
Snowballing is a big problem.

I guess a typical wargoal could be to take a specific castle or city. Fabricating the claim could be done automatically by the AI factions randomly on neighbor factions taking 30 days to do. Claims could also be given to claimants for king throne etc (giving claim on whole Kingdom maybe or capital region) for the player they could do some action or mission to generate the claims.
On peace treaty it should be possible to take more land than the claim, but then all other factions in the game will get a free claim to take all your land from you (making all factions go to war with a faction which takes more land) also all cities and such make no tax/income before a peace treaty is signed. After a peace treaty there will be a 30 days truce (Or longer depending on how much is taken)

I don't want to see any faction taking over half the map before at least 50 years in game have passed.

Please no stalemate. That is most boring.
Well, i did some testing. It seems that when lords run out of money they wont recruit any troops. I gave one lord of the Aserai (That had been in same castle for 100+ days) 50K cash in trade and she instantly went out of the castle and started recruiting. So the problem is, that once they run out of their starter money (What was around 20k i think??) they will not recruit anymore and just wait to be captured and killed in the random castle.
Anyone know how lords make money
For me the southern empire soon controls the entire map. As a vassal of sturgia i noticed almost all castles and towns got taken by southern empire without anyone even besieging them. Turns out all the other Sturgian clans joined them and took their fiefs with them... in the matter of a week in-game. Now its just me and the ruling clan.
So far only way i have found is when you give the random lords money yourself (But they spend it REALLY FAST, she went through 50K i gave her in 5-6 days and she ended up with 20 coins lol)

If that is the case I feel like clans should start out with a decent base income and initial wealth depending on their rank so even without any fiefs they will have decent passive base income from workshops or family/clan estates and caravans so that money should eventually become a problem, just not super fast as it currently does.
Most clans, even tier 5 ones are way too small and easy to wipe off the map lacking in companions who can be extra caravan income. Families also tend to be small for the time period, where there should be 5+ children for some of these lords and kings.
This is what you end up seeing with most lords (Upper left corner shows their money)
Also the thing i noticed by following her is that she looses troops while traveling on the map at random places, usually she lost 1-4 per day, sometimes 20 guys suddenly dissapear etc

This is usually the army sizes after 100+ days unless you give them money so they can do more

Agree same thing here too.
By following an Battanian lord, whenever he conquered a castle/town and won he got quite a bit money for victory (around 5-15k per win usually), and he seemed to pay the wages for the troops identical to the player wages on the troops (100-600 coins depending on the size). He also seemed to gain a bit when defeating raider party, and ended up with 80+ strong army with daily expenses around 600-700 coins. Meanwhile the Aserai girl spent 50k in a few days on troops and ended up loosing most of the troops to desertion, so i dunno what is wrong lol
lack of food and gold cause the troops to leave
