::: The problem is that without the Native Expansion, the cost of defending your empire is faaaar more than you can make from your holdings, to say nothing of having to visit every village or castle seperately to collect your tithes.  I'm actually awful at giving orders, just like in EV. Instead, I max out all my followers Training skill and just build up the biggest, most elite units possible. 20 men is a pretty paltry sum, actually, that might be part of your problem as well.

::::: Probably, but NE is all I use and, honestly, it's really more than enough. Combat is MUCH more lethal, and they've beefed up spearmen with the ability to set vs. a charge. Charging into a set spearmen is an auto-kill for your horse. Additionally, they've added improvements to castles and villages, plus made it so those villages and castles actually pay enough to maintain an army. (The problem I ran into in M&B is somewhere around my second or third castle, the cost of garrisoning them - even at the 1/2 price you get for stationed armies - was far more than I was taking in, leading to me having to spend all my time looting and checking my expansion.) NE also, I think, doubles the amount of value you get for Leadership and Prisoner Management, varies the price you receive from the slaver (better units = more money), and a lot of other clever stuff. It also stretches out leveling a bit : in standard, it is very hard to progress past about level 25 or so, and I think NE starts to grind around 30-35. I'd check it out.  My characters, FWIW, all tend to be INT/CHR builds, usually with something like power draw/horse archery 3. My goal is, one day, to own my own city, but I have not managed that yet: they're hard as hell to take.
