I would like this system much better if you changed one thing which im not sure is possible in the current warband. Basically, each "unchanging" troop type would actually have upgrades, automatic even, But only level/stat increases, not gear or specialization. Say you hire 10 lvl 10 pikemen, over time their group gets experience  so that one becomes a lvl 11 pikeman. And so on and so forth. This solves the issues of knights from peasants but still makes your troops matter and gain from combat in some way.
