I got the game and found it very entertaining. There are however little things
that make it not as realistic. 

1) Ok once a village has been conquered and all the men have been "enrolled"
in the army, it is said that the village will be repopulated thanks to the 
storks. Now how do they eat ? (I dare you to leave a baby in some dead ghost
city and come back 20 years later. the probability of getting a healthy lad
is very low, more likely like rat or varmint fodder).

2) After a map square had been conquered, one is supposed to jump to the next 
piece of land not yet conquered and start from scratch. Hey !! isnt it
supposed to be in the same cnnected world ? so why is it impossible to transfer
all the resources into the conquest of the new land ? Common, in any real 
world situation, men and resources from the vainquished would have been used 
for strenghtening the army .
