Hi, I had enough with the overly bright tree LODs, and created a simple mod, which darkens most tree LODs (some don't need change). In my opinion is much better.

Note that Rome 2 HDR sometimes detects the darker trees and makes the scene little darker (you can see it in the desert screenshots).
A little side effect is that trees in the shadow or against the sun are quite dark, but I think its realistic. Actually the original textures are fine, the problem is in the shader, but I can't fix that.

Thank you guys, appreciate it! I wanted to make also unit LOD mod (distant unit faces are way too bright), but I couldn't find the LOD textures... I'm away now for a long time, I don't have my personal pc with me, so next update and steam link mid august. When I'm back I'll try to fix the grass as well. In the mean time, feel free to edit and improve it as you like!
JUST PERFECT
HI I AM ONLINE NOW . but I didtn have much time to work on V3 . but I didn't forgot it . I will do that . I have my plans
your mod is just perfect created on my mod. If you allow me credit you in V3 and combine this mod in V3 ?I will credit you as LOD trees edited.
For those asking about grass, I did a grass mod a while back.
Installed this tree mod + Pdguru's "weeds" and result is very nice, but the thing annoying me most is actually those large "asphalted" areas (present in every climate) without vegetation: any mod to change the grass distribution (not the textures) ?
Darker/better tree LODs UPDATE Final
