Oh, yeah, one more thing. Higher resolution will improve quality of unit images dramatically so it will all look so much better. People with better computers wont notice pixels so much as will people with lower-end computers.

How is that ? I mean, if the engine use sprites for units the pixellation comes mainly from the 2D sprite bitmaps themselves... If they are say 32 pixels high they'll look awful from close, whatever your CPU and GFX card !
For example look at Medieval TW compared to Shogun TW (the previous game) : units in MTW look much better than STW just because they have "hi res" sprites instead of low res ones. Same for Combat Mission 2 vs CM1 (but there is hi res mods to close the gap). If the engine allow modders to make and use higher res sprites (as in CM), it'll be fine , but else, that'll be a limiting factor.
I agree with you for the "3D" part though, it will be more or less good according to the graphics card.
