Problem is current economical and recruitment model is not good.
Lords should keep only small retinue of professional soldiers at all times(especially peace) then boost their numbers in the times of war by mass conscripting troops.
But with how current auto-resolve work its impossible for them to keep bandits down with small elite force in times of peace and with current recruitment system its impossible to mass recruit medium tiers(or at last T2&T3) in the time of war. Not even mention that bandits and looters just spawn because and they are important part of game economy and army leveling.
The more I look at issues the more clear it is that whole system if flawed and nothing that can be easily changed or fixed by some small balancing.
