Do you prefer 3D or 2D?

[Jason Petho]

What views do you use when you play?

I suspect, as the poll suggests, that most people use both. What might be interesting to find out instead is which they use PRIMARILY. I use both, but 3D primarily. Interesting poll, just trying to be helpful

[MrRoadrunner]

I use 2-D to check the overall map. See how far units can move and/or fire.
I mostly battle on 3-D.
I guess I would put it at around 25% 2-D and 75% 3-D. Never use the extreme views.

I assumed that primary use was implied by the poll question. I'm apparently the only vote for 2D exclusively. I do use 3D but only infrequently, when I need to check terrain a little more closely.

Best,

I use 2D to look at the entire map and 3D for the fighting.

[Big Ivan]

I use 3D all the way for movement and combat. If I want to move fast I use the Fast Human Player Option in 3D.
I also like the extreme zoom out mode in 3D to see the lay of the land.

Thanks

[Hawk Kriegsman]

I am with Big Ivan.

I am exclusively 3D.

Although I don't use extreme zoom that much to plan.

I usually just wing it. [8|]

Thanx!

I've seen the Hawk "wing attack". [;)]

I would say this is about the same as I use

[Big Ivan]

Yeah,

I've seen the Hawk's wing attack too, I think?

At any rate what I saw wasn't for the feint of heart!

[MrRoadrunner]

Hawk is a prolific player.
He is very good at it too! "Rup rup rup!"

Please stop!

You are are embarassing me. [:'(][:'(]

3d75% 2d 25%

I need both as playing without the 2d overview you play blind. The "daily business" goes on in 3D.

[Kineas]

I estimate: 3d normal: 70% 2d normal: 20% 3d zoomout: 10%.

[CaptainHuge]

I use 2D when I want an overall picture of the battle and to fire artillery, 3D when I am close to the enemy or I want to see the cool units. [:)]

[blackcloud6]

I fight in 3D and use it for most of the game. I use 2D for overall SA/analysis and sometimes to quickly move units that are out of contact.

[VadeS]

only 2D

[Warhorse]

Mostly 3D, 2D for overall picture. Used to be only 2d, but really enjoy the more miniatures look now!

[scottintacoma]

2d always. During original setup on a meeting engagement, If I can not see the roads on the opponets side, I will switch to 3D. Need to know where they are entering the map.

Ditto, I voted 3D look but I play both, 3D for the visual aspect of it, 2D for the overall view.
