    Before 14th century you had "Vojnici" as separate class below lower nobles, but later they merge.

    Yeah, militia is excellent.

    I noted changes on Vlastelčići too, with helmets they look even better than before.

    Vlastelčići tier 3 have them, and probably some cavalry units as secondary.

    I'm not sure what you expect to find...
    There isn't a single surviving 14th century armor to find in whole Balkans.
