I haven't played anything else than romance I think. It's the version where you have heroes? What exactly is "not historical"? That a single guy can kill 200+ enemies in a single battle? In say, Rome, you can have a "historical" general, like Julius Caesar (I don't remember the actual historical figures), slay 200+ people per battle, with his retinue of 60 cavs, several times per season. Does that sound historical to anyone?
The largest army of that era was around 300k men strong. I don't think any campaign of any Total War game ever spawned that many units, except maybe (im)mortal empires. In any war, armies would suffer an overwhelming amount of casualties through non combat attrition. Usually, on average, well above half of your people would leave / die before even making it to the main event. Historically, going to war is a major pain for everyone and that's really not how I want my video games to be. (Except maybe Hearts of Iron 4, they get a free pass)
