CM series had tons of terrain mods. I especially like grass mods.
Will this series see something similar?

Personally I would like steppes(high grass) like the ones in Theatre of War, would this engine handle that?

Well, it's already happening - check out this thread:

The game is quite open to it.

We haven't tried that yet, since we were focusing on Spring and Early Summer maps, so I can't say what the performance would be. In theory, yes, but it would have to be done in a way that doesn't add a zillion additional polys or slower systems could have trouble with it. You'd probably want to do some LOD work to make that perform reasonably as well.

Well, I suppose my 7900 GS could handle some of it .
As long as it's optional.

Sounds good. I enjoy trying out new types of grass and trees etc.
