So I've been playing a game along the typical route (become vassal, grab fiefs, become king, conquer), joined the Baccus Empire around day 300 after Ravenstern fell flat on their face. After going and grabbing my old fief the Kingdom of Sarleon declares war, in addition to the Fierdshaven that we were already fighting. So they send a big army to attack Laria (my old fief). I take out like 8 different lords. Then a few days later they attack Ethos, so I take them out. This time I make sure to check which lords I was killing (since some had very nasty troops). I take out King Ulric and his lion heavy doomstack. I take him prisoner and he breaks back out with 2 other lords I had imprisoned before the time stage even changes, no biggie, but that was all I could do to slow down him respawning.

What was a bigger deal is when I saw him 4 days later marching with a full army towards Laria with a fully restored army of 250 troops, including over 80 assorted lion and knight troops. He's not the only one that happened with either. Lords routinely are fully charged within a week of a defeat. To make things weirder peaceful troop replenishment (a lord just generally milliing about with their holdings) seems much slower. Between the war with the Fierdshaven, the war with Sarleon, and the war with Ravenstern (they joined shortly after the 3rd major route of Sarleon and marched a 1k followed by a 4k down). By my count I have killed at least half (usually more) of 8 ai armies in the last in game month. I don't really know how to make this work. I did 'beat' this mod once about a year ago and I do not remember enemy armies being that brutal, but I could be forgetting.

Is this a glitch? If not, then what would you recommend for how to fight wars? Currently my best ideas are either lowering the difficulty settings vastly to allow effortless victories, or to try suiciding the lords following me when their troops run low so that they will ideally benefit from the same instant replenishment, but I am well aware that I lack both knowledge and skill with this game. I have not taken screenshots, but if some are needed then I have confidence that this will repeat itself, so I can do so.
