I like this so far. Good mix of assets; art-wise everything is nice and consistent in quality. Two crucial things are missing:
1. Some kind of formations option, even if it's just the multiple rank system from WFAS. Being stuck with only a single line's worth of infantry is really **** when trying to fend off a frontal cavalry charge.
2. Upstab for polearms - at least for the 2H ones. Spears and pikes are effectively useless without a second attack direction. Especially when in the hands of the AI.
Your take on weapon balance is very interesting. Weapons are much shorter, faster, and do more damage than in native. I'll test some more and see how I like it. Having to physically find each and every merchant and tavern location in every city to get option to visit them from the main menu is really annoying.
