My proven tactics to cope with invasions and get over 1000 alignment per faction within 10 hours:

1. At my bases: build 5 -high, with iron rails 1 block OUTSIDE of the castle wall top level (so you don't fall down but can peak vertically down and use your longspear to poke through), make sure your fort is protected against warg bombers with a wide enough banner radius, then ride out with your armored (Rohirrim) horse to the invasion point, lure multiple waves by riding in circles around their spawning point, lure the horde to your fort, enter on the backside through a large fate to make sure you don't mess around with your return, then start picking them off with a longspear (+ 3 loot blessing) through the rails, until you've killed all, gather the huge loot. Rails are important so you don't get knocked off your wall and they stop horizontal arrows. The ones vertical up are rare. Longspear saves tons of arrows.

2. When underway: if the invasion is close to you, first take a healthy distance from it, then build a 3-high dirt wall fence that fits your horse as well but leave out the lowest layer, do the same luring as with your base tactics and make sure you have enough time to jump your fence when you get back, then start killing them off by thrusting at their feet. For those who keep distance, dig a trench in the middle of your dirtmound and shoot them, but keep evading their arrows (so a 5 x6 wall is useful for movement inside).
