Thanks Edi for the hints on what to expect.
Map zooming or minimap would help because in CoE2, when you have sent most of your troops to take out that last enemy, you may very well not see that one of his scouts is taking out all of your villages way back because you'd have to move with the arrow keys for a long time every turn, just to see if something isn't happening in your backyard. A minimap/zoom would avoid that problem, which is why I think it would be important. It would also help navigation a lot.
Also, commander move and selection use the same button. So, if you left click on the commander you want to move and the currently selected commander is just next to him, you move that guy instead. This really sucks. It would be much better to left-click for select, right-click for move, for instance.
