I find it quite on par with real life given the time period and troop composition.
look at it this way. the heaviest units or RTW(urbans and phalanxes) are barelly more armed/armored than the lightest fully upgraded M2TW units like spear militia or levy spearmen/swordsmen.

Have they fixed the "Cretan Archers run as fast as than light cavalry when both of they are routing" bug? Oh, it is not a bug... It was built that way...

About armors: they greek phalanx is quite heavy though. Remember that they use bronze technology for shield/helmet. Can't make thin (but lightweight) armor they way steel armor is in 14th century.

Anyways, the speed was unrealistic in relation between different units.
