"peasants with varios farm tools

barbarians are a mottled group (not all wearing the same cloths and same weapons some with axes, some swords, spears ect)"

hell yes. I agree with that one.

accurately similuating naval conflict would require a vast addition to the RTW engine... it would be nice but I think this is pushing it.

I would like to see some blood, personally.

and it would be simple to have napoleonic total war based on this engine, just need to change the art stats and names.
