Put em through the meat grinder and when you're low, go grab a bunch of bandits and/or regular recruits, donate a couple 2H swords, and bam, you're back to a full stack of max-tier troops. Rinse/repeat. I think the fix is to only allow post battle from loot, i.e. no crafted items. Smithing needs to have called nerfed.I joined a kingdom, followed the big army to fight in battles. sell all the loot and prisoners you get. do this until you have a good stockpile of money. level your clan up, give your followers thier own army. create an army of just your followers. this doesnt cost influence. repeat until you have tons of money.
How to Create a Kingdom in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. Starting a kingdom can be very hard and grindy to do. First of all, having low levels in most skills will make you a horrible ruler. Second of all, getting a big enough army to actually protect the newly-founded kingdom is going to take a while.
When i need to add garrison to captured city or castle I gather all my companions by creating an army. Take all their troops except recruits and dump them to garrison. All my cities have decent garrison without me donating any of my own troops. And even if they die to random bandits before they recruit some troops just create party again.
