I do think that counts. Medieval 2 had both byzantines and turks in almost perfectly opposite colors, purple vs green

Oh right, there was that one also. Somehow completely forgot about Medieval 2 (was more of a Rome player).

But my knowledge of their existence comes more from the fact that I was dumb enough to take Latin in school. We had to translate letters by the German ambassador (Busbecq) to the Ottoman Empire from when he was sent to ~~Byzantium~~ ~~Constantinople~~ ~~Kostantiniyye~~ Istanbul (the wiki-article about the names of the city alone is fascinating).
