Johan may I have a question? It was necessary to change to 3d in the battle screen?
There are strategy games with awesome 2d/isometric gfx on the market!
Even the War Engine's top-down view would be awesome with a 16bit color and min. 1024x768 resolution!

No it wasn't necessery, but we thought it looked better than the previous battlefield, and JK had been working on a 3D engine for other reasons. Also the particle effects in the dom2 battles are significant improvement over the old spell effects from dom 1.
