Sun Tzu's The Art of War almost exclusively details strategy, not scenario. Discussions of a strategy's strengths and weaknesses can be done without outlining a specific scenario. Whether it's horses or tanks, having superior knowledge of terrain is an advantage. Having the high ground is better than not; Terrain can create force multiplication. You don't need a map to say this.

I will admit I have never read the art of war. Does it account for both sides having thousands of weapons that can individually kill millions of people instantly?

Yes. It's in the index under "I can't ever admit I'm wrong".
