Grass/ground improvements on battle map
I see work has been done on a sky mod, but to me the dire need is on the grass/ground on the battle maps. The units in EB don't look to bad compared MTWIIs graphics, nor the sky, but I find the ground is a shame, and from the visual feast perspective, and the only thing IMO that lets EB down.
Are there plans to release EBv1.0 with any improvements in this area, if anything can be done that is?
Re: Grass/ground improvements on battle map
EB has grass that Prometheus made, and palms, possibly some other vegetation changes. No changes are made for 1.0 I think.
Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

Oh right, I forgot about that. Well, the grass is not changed.

Are you laughing because to you bovi stated the obvious, or because there are some changes that he is unaware of?Really... no changes...

I presume the new lighting changes will make the ground look better too.

That too but it's a vegetation change. I won't say more except that it was something I wanted changed since I started playing EB and I got the chance to do it myself.

Just turn the grass graphics settings up under video options - and get ready for some serious lag in big battles. Personally, I prefer numbers over graphics.

Your PC must be a tad old, because mine wasn't the best 1 year ago and I'm getting away with 15,000+ troops on max settings @1600x1200 resolution.
I presume your not interested in MTWII at all(not overly keen myself, but the Expansion is good) or can you run this?
I'm curious as to what the average PC the avid EB player owns, afterall RTW has been out what nearly 3yrs?
Re: Grass/ground improvements on battle map
Go into the preference text and change the grass view distance to some crazy high level, I think that could lag a supercomputer. The benefit to cost ratio of the grass in RTW/M2TW is tiny.
Re: Grass/ground improvements on battle map
I'll give it a go, see if things look better eh!
