OK, so I've discovered something new about the game. If you're having the issue of yellow/white terrain.... If you press 'Alt-F' while in the game, it will switch to something called 'satillite view'....
This is a top down view, similar to Civ 3 and like my above screenshot with the normal looking ground textures, but the difference is, you can zoom in and out just as far as you can in the normal view on the top down view and all the ground textures look normal!
The drawbacks:
The water, which is still black/black triangles most of the time.
It is a little difficult to discern units on the map sometimes, especially if there is an improvement on the tile, but overall it's not that bad.
Anyway, this may have been posted or whatever before, but I just found it and thought I'd share with everyone having a similar issue with the ground textures in case they didn't know about it. It works very well for me and greatly improves my enjoyment of the game (and also seems to improve the speed of the game itself in later stages for me).
Give it a try. Hope it helps someone till we get some kind of permanent fix for this issue.
