Or will all this have to wait until computers are powerful enough to handle large highly detailed maps. Although by the time you are able to make these theaters, computers may be strong enough.

I think you don't know too well how computers work. How big and detailed the maps can be depends on how much time one is willing to put into the modelling of the map. If the level of detail is the same, it doesen't matter if the map is of some small part of England only or the whole world. Only the parts that the player can see and only the details you can see is in the RAM at any given time. The size of the map depends on your hardrive or internet connection if some parts of the map is on a server. You don't need a Cray-computer for a world map. Look at MS FS.
I may be wrong but I think I'm not.
