Anyways I want a mod that gives way more graphics options, such as completely removing color desaturation, overylaying color filters, bloom lighting, or anything else that makes the game look less realistic. Rome 1 had none of these dreadful things and despite the low polygons and textures, got things right. Just for example. this is what a sunny day in Tunis, a city near where Carthage was, looks like. Note the blue sky and actual colours on things: http://i.imgur.com/LzMlENl.jpg An evening or morning shot: http://i.imgur.com/uy2lCKB.jpg This is what Rome 2 thinks a sunny Carthaginian day looks like: http://i.imgur.com/cCeVU5I.jpg CA may just be trying to keep up with the zeitgeist of the times, where game designers forget the sky is blue, grass is green, and the world is not a blurry mess with smog that makes Beijing look like a national park
