What Next?

I'm about a month in to playing. I've posted a few times and got some help but now I'm firmly in the "mid game" and don't know what to do. The only quest left is to "Defeat the Southern Empire". They're basically defeated, have zero holdings but still have 3 to 4 thousand troops running around. I can take big armies to kill their big armies but most are small parties that I hunt myself. I cannot get them to zero no matter what I do.

My faction is one of three big ones left. I have three key towns and am making money. We occasionally have wars with the other two key factions, we take fiefs, they take fiefs. I never get any of them, probably because I'm the wealthiest clan in the faction.

I haven't done smithing, it seems boring and you have to take breaks all the time.

I'm on PC but XBox game pass and stuck with 1.0.24.0.

I died, my wife took over. She sucked at battle and leadership but I got her there. She's even won some tournaments.

Anyway, for the past week, the game is boring. I fight some battles, hunt some rif raff, spend money, make money. Nothing is progressing after about 20 hours. Do I keep going? Buy the game on Steam and start over? Load some mods? I love the game but this 'dead zone' sucks.
