One could go further, limiting the number of attackers who can fit into
a location to less than the number of defenders. If you have to be
tougher than your prey, man for man or beast for beast, it puts value
on the Conan type super noble and magic weapons.

The same principle could be applied to buildings, so that a castle's
benefit is reduced in how many troops it can hold, but increased in
that more defenders can engage than attackers can fit through the
gate at once.

I agree with Mark Hendrickson's point that the
Swordplay/Defence/Archery
increases are pointlessly small, but as well as boosting those
increases
could be awarded to a noble for fighting in a battle where he or she
personally kills something/survives being targetted or whatever.

The game would be much richer if the overmighty lords needed to hire
heroic individual nobles for difficult battles, rather than just using
millions of beasts and crossbowmen.
