That happened in Dominions 1, but it was all pixel-based. Green was forest, blue was sea, white was cold, and in cold province pixels turned to white. It looked ugly.
Illwinter has mentioned that that is one of the features, or even the feature, they miss from Dom1.

Haven't played dom1 , but I have seen screenshots. It's not beautiful, but, well, it only can be improved
. I'm happy they miss that feature

I don't know if it is even possible to do for the pieces of art that are maps of Dominions II and III.
It is very hard to do, as even simple "snow in winter" should be per-province, and the program doesn't in fact know the province borders.

As far as I've understood, provinces are only points. There can be some frontier types that will be dispatched to give the province it's general aspect, but the result will be only graphical, and won't interfere with the province characteristics ( don't know if it's clear, I'm not fluent in english
). For forests or mountains, an arrangement of trees/mountains sprites would be looking great (most of domII maps have lot of sprites copied/pasted. For snow/desert provinces, yes, it seems a bit tougher. Maybe with textures
.
Anyway, I'm happy to see that this feature is one of their concern
.
