    Is there going to be a curvature as well?

    The way the screen shots looked to me, it seems like there's going to be several "world maps", not one contiguous one. Do we have any details on this? I'm still catching up on the last month or two of info.

    Actually, all I remember understanding was that we get realistic terrain, corresponding to its original counterpart.
    I'll try and search for that article.


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

    My understanding is simply that they have used NASA height maps for creating the campaign map rather than a manually created one.

    Thats something that most of the RTW mods have been doing for some time, though I get the impression that the Empire engine allows much higher quality height maps to be used than was practical on the Rome engine.

    Also it looks like there will be a lot more in the way of terrain/climate types & some of that may come from satelite data too, presumably with manual alteration from research into changes since the game period.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
