A feature I actually would like to see removed

No. No black fog. It's unrealistic, ancient cultures were not that isolated that in 272 BC for example the Romans would not know about Seleukeia or the Celts about the Ptolemaioi

Yes they knew that. But they didn't know the exact geographical look. I mean look at the maps of the time. They were very much wrong when you see hellenistic ones, image what the Sweboz would think how the world looked like. It doesn't have to be a complete fog of war, or the same for every faction.
The Greeks and Carthaginians would definetly know much more then the Saka or Casse
