ever thought of the next version of witp-ae and had this hideous fake 3d/real time graphics in your mind?
just say NO! even if you're 'under' 50yrs old! this game belongs to the 'nice and crisp' 2d universe of gaming - PERIOD!
Under 50 here too ... and yes to NO to 3D!
2D is PERFECT for the game mechanics.
Now, I wouldn't complain if in that 2D world there was fluid zoom (with increasing detail as one zooms in), and (this one is a biggie), we could move windows/dialog boxes out of the way, or type in coordinates to go to a hex
Nor, if push came to shove, if the combat animations were in 3D, maybe actually reflecting "moves" made by the die rolls ... c'mon: you too would want to see the those dive bombers push over into a 80 degree plummet while the flattop below heels hard to avoid the 6 torpedo tracks streaking toward her!
