How to have impact as a vassal (Nords)

So in my current playthrough i was roleplaying as a viking raider, but now i joined the nords and want to help them. I also want to take the island for me, but vlandia has a garrison and militia of 1000 troops there.

We are non stop at war, with sturgia which is down to 2 cities, with khuzait and with vlandia. We gained some land but it s a struggle. I can barley have my party full from all the defending and stuff. The clan parties i dispatched die instantly and are very bad overall (what are the most important skills for a party leader?) And it seems i have no impact other than trying to defend here and there.

It just feels like a slog. I want my city, at this point any city to build up defend and raid from. Also, i am playing with the reinforcment system mod, and it seems it messes up with the influence gain after battles. Sometimes i get 0 from 1000 vs 1000 battles.

What should i do? What should my course of action be?
