Rome: Total War Campaign Map Mod

[Lonely Soldier]

I was just comparing the qualities of campaign map between Rome

and the Battle for Middle-Earth

and was wondering if there were some changes that could be made to make the map more realistic or at least more attractive. The changes would be almost entirely cosmetic - mostly textures, and maybe a few models for forests. I am aware that the map in BfME is always zoomed out further and is of a more artistic style than that of Rome but when comparing the two from the maximum range (as you can see above) there are marked differences in quality (sorry about the low resolution Rome picture, but we all got that fold out map with the game anyway ).

Here are some satellite images (for colour reference) of Europe, something between the two would get my vote):



Any thoughts?
