Default Re: 3d battle scenes are looking horrible! :(

I saw some of the screenshots an I think that they look great. The top-down approach is ok for keeping track of your units in a tactical battle, but visually it tends to look like a bad tablecloth. And since this is just a replay of the combat the pseudo 3D is fantastic (the shots of Ermor storming the castle made me salivate just a bit). It gives you a better feel for the battle yet doesn't waste a lot of time. After all, by mid to late game you tend to ship through them rather quickly. It would be a shame to waste overdone 3D grafics on something that you will eventually just breeze past.
