Good idea. I was wondering about how I could implement lance formation. "Breton Lance".

I appreciate they will be very expensive though, especially since they have H3.
The chances for a damsel to pick up level 4 in either A/W/N is about 4%. Many of them will also be crippled in combat by a single S pick. And yeah, they are kind of weakened by having their picks be all over the place instead of concentrated power. (what will you do with a A2W2N2E1S1 Damsel?)

Yeah, the noble commanders will all get standard. Small for the Lord, moderate for Marquis, huge for Duke and massive! for the Hero.

PD to 1 to 20 will just men-at-arms, peasant bowmen and the bretonnian lord and his honor guard of Knight Errants. At PD 20+ you'll start getting Knights of the Realm (both footed and mounted) and a Marquis with his honor guard. Moving from peasants straight to the Knight of the Realm is a bit of jump, but like you said, it's thematic.
