Welp, just tested the caravan thingie. After this patch my caravan is suddenly limited to 30 men (was 80 pre-patch). As expected poor sods almost instantly desert. One week later 4/5 caravans got robbed and destroyed. Nice work, TW!
Caravans having 80-90 party limit was not something fair. You can create a party from your companion and spend your one party limit if you want 80-90 men party in your clan. You can create caravan at game start and test them in long run which we did lots. They are survived 1-2-3 years average. In your situation probably there should be something extraordinary. Having 2 caravans with 80 men inside and they are not attacked for years and daily making 3K from them is not something fair in game. Currently one of the biggest problems is player having millions in late game and game become not challenging. This is caused by several things :
1-lords are giving so much loot (both in terms of item and plundered gold also prisoners)
2-caravans are making so much money and they are safe
3-lord parties are so weak (they have tons of level 6-11 troops, about 65% of their troops are in this category in mid/late game)
We are trying to fix all these problems and this does not mean your old routines will bring you good money all time. Most players having 1-5m in late game does not make game better. These things will be balanced by time.
