I agree, its often dificult to see exactly what is going on in the battle, because you can't get a good angle, sometimes it is even impossible to select a certain unit to view its stats because of a bad angle (especially in underwater battles).
I understand that it is impossible to make a completely free camera (because than we'd have problem with 2d sprites on a 3d battlefield), but just a zoom option shouldn't be too troublesome.

Although obviously, this isn't a top priority.

You can already zoom in and out with Page Down/Page Up and you can pause the combat by pressing Spacebar... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Filter and sort lists of provinces & commanders.
Now seem randomly ordered like in dom2
(now spells can be filtered by path, good.)

W00T!
I knew you could use spacebar, never though about Page Up/Page Down. Especially since the mouse wheel didn't work >_<

I'd like a gamma and volume control for the game. The picture is really dark and the music is really loud. A simple scroll bar should more than suffice for both aspects.

'?' key should also work in combat. As far as I can tell, battle screen has its own hotkeys. I'm pretty sure many players were forced to watch entire battles because they couldn't figure out 'q' key.

More visible province borders on manually made maps. It takes too much time to recognize province borders and be able to plan next moves properly. It probably can't be changed painlessly, because it's hardcoded into map image, but still something to remember about. Unfortunately, it will probably require replacing all .tga files, and they're pretty big to put into patch.

I'd like an alternate way to enter army setup screen: right click on commander icon (that one on the left). I know there are hotkeys for this, but it's a bit unintuitive. And, if I remember correctly, I still have to scroll through all available commanders to change battle orders of specific commander.

more to come.

New map filters :

*Commanders :
display a red X where you have one or more commander (or a red X + the number of commanders or one X per commander or a mini-box with the sprites of your commanders in each province)

*showing numbers on the map :
instead of forcing you to count sprites or click the provinces, show you on the main map the exact amount of the thing you search in your provinces, may be concerned...
- Supplies
- Ressources
- Leadership of each kind/units
- Income
etc...

(look at the maps in the manual pages 41, 42, I wonder why a filter like this has not been included, especially for supplies, the most useful value to have in mind when you move an army)

Maybe Nerfix doesn't read all the topics before creating new ones:
