It something like this:

I've never played the game, but based on this image it just looks like it's got hill shading pre-baked into the base texture. You can do this yourself using GDAL and a DEM file, as described in my blog post here: http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/creating-hill-shaded-tile-overlays/
