How to get rid of unit sprites?

[Naja]

I remember in earlier Total War games you could take sprites out - either by selecting the highest graphics option, or modding sprites out manually.

I'm a little disappointed that I'm still seeing unit sprites despite having a pretty decent gaming rig and setting my unit detail to Extreme.

Is there any way to mod sprites out?

Bump.

I also read somewhere that pressing the "N" key affects sprite distance to some extent?

And the only thing that affects draw distance is your graphics setting ultra, extreme etc

It's dictated by the warscscape LOD entries in the DB folder... I can't seem to get my head around it. Also maybe if you export textures without mip maps?

Or it could be controlled in the direct X shader
