What should I do here?

I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...

How do I gain Fiefs?

I am playing on my first playthrough and I have hit a bit of a snag. I don't know if this matters as much as Warband, but I am playing as a woman.

I am sitting on a stable pile of 1 million denars from smithing. I signed on as a vassal to the Vlandians, married into the royal family, specifically Amorcon, and was quickly granted Sargot and Thactorae Castle as fiefs.

I helped with some massive pushes that got us some rebel fiefs, pushing into Aserai, Battanian, and Sturgian territory. I have been maintaining a standing army of 100-150 tier 4-6 troops. Until recently, I had been in every major campaign, leading the charge attached to other armies (I led one campaign to take a rebel town, but Derthert got the credit). Suddenly, I have been smashed every time I go to link up with one of our armies. Seriously, I have had to rebuild my forces 4 times now, and I just started on my 5th, and I am getting angry.

Every time the vote comes up, I am not on the roles at all. It alternates between the same 4 Clans, Derthert's and 3 other large, multi-fief Clans. Derthert has only won 1 vote in the dozen or so since I joined, but I am never in the running for these fiefs.

I am trying to consolidate a bit before I declare independence and my own kingdom, but now I am also getting scared that I don't know what I am doing as a Commander. Any help for building up my power base?
