Half the time there's no lord due to claims anyway, unless someone's bought
the title.

How about we also dramatically increase or decrease the difficulty of TO's
relative to how many regions have already been taken? If the first one or
two TO's only take four or five days at most, but the sixth or seventh takes
two weeks, while the realm being attacked has TO's go by in two days. That
makes it advantageous for neither realm to go too far.

Or, the more regions are taken, the more the home population gets discontent
because of the lack of an armed presence keeping them in line / the
independence movements caused by so many regions having claims spills over
into once loyal regions, while the defending realm's people start getting
disgruntled about the lack of leadership shown / the constant stream of
casualties and start having ideas of rebellion and a Peasant's Republic. The
longer the war goes, the worse it gets.
