Yes that makes plenty of sense for one SPQR does not have a background script like EB's and the map used (Warmap I believe) while it has quite a large scale it lacks the detail of EB's map.

As for the battle map the SPQR units have all the lower resolution 3d models in-game and as Aymar de Bois Mauri was saying EB does not yet.
