That is true, indeed. Furthermore there are great holes in our knowledge of even well-documented factions such as Rome, so much of EB isn't a 100% accurate reconstruction, but rather a "best guess" at how it was.

However, EB is based on primary sources and has been made by professional historians. This is probably as accurate as a computergame is ever going to get.
