I can't attack bandit camps and its frustrating

[Mr. Pinkman]

every time a new bandit camp spawn, immediately a huge army spawns to attack then, and they spawn near the camp so even if I rush to then they will be dead by the time my soldiers arrive, and this is making get influence so hard and triggers the enemy lord to conquer more territories faster.
I've been through this on the release and the beta version and with different save files

Let the baron fight while you run your guys around the back of the fighting army to get the camp supplies.

Its a win-win. You don't put your troops in danger and get the money.

You only need 1 unit.

The moment you see the baron raise his army, raise yours and run them, steering well clear of the baron's troops and brigands and be sure not to trigger the bandits to attack first, stay far enough away until the baron is engaged.

Once the bandits are dead and the camp sacked you can return home and disband.

This is the way, just wait for the baron to send his army first before you send your own. targeting is a bit wonky but best to just stay further a bit by 50% to 2 times away, and just zerg rush the enemy camp. You won't need the stamina anyway.

I'm not all that great in the game, but this works really well. If the bandits spot you and come after you, just run toward the Baron's army and then just run another way once they engage the bandits. I managed to get the proceeds from three raider camps that way.

Of course, then 2x18 raiders showed up later, and my fully armored retinue of 7 got killed while my bowmen militia survived. Now I'm in debt and it will likely only get worse because traders aren't buying much at all, so I never get above 50 in regional wealth.
