New to Bannerlords

I haven’t had much time to sink into this game but I was wondering if I can get any tips as a new player. I’m on PC and I only have a few hours in the game but majority of my time is spent being a POW. Idk what I’m doing wrong or what I’m doing right(if anything). I get stomped by bandits half the time and the other half is when I finally get a foothold I get attacked by another faction(because I’m a mercenary) and then it’s starting from square 1 again. I can only put about 1-2 hours in each time I sit down and play but it gets demoralizing when I’m a prisoner most of that time. I also started in sandbox but I’d be willing to make a new character if it meant that I could have an easier time starting out. Any tips are appreciated!
