My issue with how this works is the oberly similar nature of hostile TOs to looting rogue.

Regions shouldn't loot rogue, they should capitulate to the looting realm. Peasants would seek shelter from one power or the other,they wouldn't suddenly betray their former masters in the face of an invader unless it was to switch sides to the invader.

The issue is that the invader doesn't always want to take the region. Maybe it's not adjacent to their realm. Maybe it's very poor. Maybe they don't have enough nobles for it and taking it would actually make them poorer.

Sometimes, the invader just wants to kill all the local officials without actually putting any in their stead.

Whether this is realistic from a historical perspective is made somewhat moot by the fact that Europe, unlike BM, had no shortage of people to lead these things.
