I think this is an issue with factions' identities. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems factions which conquer new territory end up having too mixed of armies because they recruit from the closest villages, which will probably be newly conquered ones if theyre fighting on the front lines. This, and it makes it hard for the player to maintain an army of their home culture for a few reasons- As your faction expands, it gets more lords. The lords recruit from your home territory a bit, meaning even less recruits available there. You will also be travelling further and further from home territory.
Also, for me it's a pain in the ass having like 30 different troop types to manage and scroll through in the party screen. But its more of a pain to travel home to fill up after every major battle.
I understand it isnt fully realistic to have the units immediately convert to whatever faction occupies it. Maybe a good solution would be a settlement "upgrade" option to convert them to your faction's culture. This way it adds that slight realism of taking a bit to convert, and it allows players to keep the original culture there (at least if they own the settlement) if you like the diversity. For me, it's a pain in the ass having like 30 different troop types to manage and scroll through in the party screen.
Worst case scenario a mod gives the option...
