Default Re: Remake

I say this only in the spirit of 'wish list', but I always thought it would be immersive if the map were a static 2D satelite picture. Lifted off Google earth for instance, zoomed to the right scale, and the hexes 'told' what they show (ploughed field, height 1 etc). So it is exactly the same game but played out on a big photo.
I got the idea from a Harrison Ford film where they watch the dramatic scene of special forces storming a camp, but all from the eerily silent, birds eye view of an infra red satelite image.
Could be interesting, though I'm sure there are a million reasons why it can't be applied to the SP games.
