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?

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.
