Default dominion2 and terrain modification??

in dominion 1 terrain modified itself through your dominion : fertile lands appeared if your dominion was growth ...
hot and dry if your dominion was heat scaled ...
snow appeared if cold scaled ...

it seems this does not occur anymore in dominions 2 ?

too bad if that's the case, cause a god would like to see the world shaped as his image

Yeah I liked that. Part of that was the pixels changing. An area would start with lots of btown and tan pixels gradually shifting toward more greens.

I guess something like that might be done in Dom2 if it did it for the background of a province only. Since Dom2 supports a much larger color range it could do it in gradual slides even. And the water areas could do it also.

But the little sprites? The mountains and tree images. Should those shift color also? What about the seasonal changes that are apparently in now?
