Yeah I see what you mean about cows generally representing bison, camels, goats depending on the environment. Boy does blue marble complement PerfectWorld! Maps begin to feel alive like they are an ecosystem. Even the plains look a lot better. Instead of graphically replacing cows with bison, it is a lot simpler to do that transformation in your mind with imagination. Probably more rewarding too.
Then comes the civilizations upon the perfect world. Gradually the ecosystem on the map is eroded away and cannot be recovered. Trees cut down, plains replaced by workshops and roads. At the end of the game, the perfect world map is largely dead and smoking and looks only a pale shade of how it looked at 4000BC. This is good because it's actually very similar to civilizations playing out in the real world.
Perfect world is pretty darn cool. There are more improvements that could be made, but a lot of them can be just simple transformations in our mind as we look at the regions on the blue marble perfect world at 4000BC.
Cheers.
