Has anyone tried to make more realistic terrain from Google Earth or is it just impossible due to the limited palette? It would be a major face lift for Civ 2.

Or tried making a relief map by using a different set of terrain icons? In my opinion that would be remarkable for setting realistic movement rates. Unlike a topomap,anyone can interpret a relief map.

It appears that a team attempted this many years ago for Civ 5.

Tried it some time ago.
Issue was, forest was hardly recognizable from jungle, and even more were hills from other landscapes.
