Secong matter, modding battefields:
Is it possible to change graphics of battlefields or at least swap them around?
It is possible to add spells to battlefields just like 'darkness' is added to the underground battlefield?
Is it possible to change the 'backdrop' of the battlefield, that is, the texture of sky?

In Game Tools, there is a Battleground Editor. To find out the names of existing maps, open the 'battlemaps' directory under main Dom3 dir. When you load e.g. darkcit.d3m into the editor, you can edit it. The tool is far from elegant, but it should let you do several things with it.
You can't add in your own things to put to the battlefield, or replace e.g. the existing tree graphics, if you meant that. The Dominions uses a custom graphics format.
You can't add spells to battlefields. It has been requested that magic sites would allow for this, but we've requested many other things as well. However, you can get darkness-effect by changing the spesific province's terrain into Cave. Caves are always dark.
As for changing the backgdrop skies, check out skybox1.tga, dusksky1.tga and poisonsky1.tga in your main Dominions 3 directory.
