It may not look like a priority, but at the end of the day I tend to realize that I have played 90% of the time on the cloth map, and I have missed out most of the graphics. In fact, while I don't 'have to do that, I instinctively switch to the cloth map because units are faster when movin on it, and more important, because the position of the terrain elements and the notable locations can be more easily understood.
Mereover certan woods to me are unrecognizable form high grass when I play on the 3D map (those woods made of spoiled trees), which tends to slow down my game (and having an even slower movement in EWOM can be really tragic).
I wish I had some incentive to play on the 3D map which is more beautiful, but unis move so slowly on it! Maybe in FE units will move faster, or more stuff will happen during a turn so that we won't have to keep clicking the end of turn button and keep watching units move in a desert, and that will partially solve the problem (?)
Anyone else prefer moving on a 3D map instead? Maybe there are some visual settings I can change? Any ideas?
