Yeah. Though as I understand it, the sort of uniformity imposed by the RTW engine isn't representative of what you'd see. The hoplites, rich cataphracts etc were pretty brightly and differently equipped. Didn't have a uniform, but more like those medieval nobility with their different colors and heraldry etc
(eg: cuirass decorations, emblems on shields for hoplites).
But the gameplay is worse. Battles don't feel the same.
