Tell that to Ireland under Henry II and Wales under Edward I.

If you want to discourage takeovers and promote ends to wars, make
individual takeovers harder but eliminate claims afterwards.  After all,
a brutal takeover is literally killing everyone who doesn't swear
fealty, so afterwards there's nobody /left/ to object to you appointing
a new lord.

If it took ~ 2 weeks and a full military occupation to conduct a hostile
takeover of even a minor region, then realms at war will seriously think
about quitting while they're ahead.  This is doubly true if friendly
takeovers (recapture, really) are much faster, comparatively.  A
"winning" realm will make further gains slowly, but can lose much of
what it has already won.

=============

Just send your priest over to subvert the entire region to your realm.
Why have an army attack when the priests can do it faster and effect
more then one realm at a time?
