A unit of 82 clones in legionary gear is only slightly bothersome to me. I would prefer something more individuated, but would also prefer a computer that can play the game at something resembling 24+ FPS.

Stirrups are not annoying on an aesthetic level -- though I would prefer their absence for accuracy -- but could be a concern for implied game values. If CA didn't check for this one, they may have assumed stirrups were in use. This would explain why RTW Vanilla cavalry is so overly effective, especially when charging. The kind of shock charge possible with stirrups was virtually non-existent before that time -- or Rome would have been known for its cavalry instead. I hope it was a mistake on the part of the graphic artist, and not the values/historical team.
