I only played the Noble War crisis , and i dont see the problems you listed there , troops are always patroling , raiding sieging citys and you can “exploit” the battles for some easy mid game armor and the noble house contracts , its realy hard , you are always outnumbered and will face powerfull enemys like hedge knighs and swordmasters and lots of the goddamm overpowered crosbowman , making it impossible to make one of the quests without losing a few brothers .
