Generic systems can work for historicals, because you don’t need to write the fluff and the rules themselves are the one thing that differentiates systems from each other.
In fictional worlds it is the background (and the miniatures) that sell the game.
Too often authors of such settings forget the amount of skill required to make a fictional language so you get weird names that are tricky to pronounce and even harder to remember because they thought they could copy Tolkien.
