I am still noticing two issues with zooming that distract from the pleasure of enjoying the beautiful world of Elemental:

1.  I see faint horizontal flickering lines when I zoom, pan, or rotate the map.  Does anyone else experience this?

2.  I really don't know how to describe this, but the zooming experience overall just feels very herky-jerky and jarring.  Particularly when jumping from the 3-D map to the cloth map and vice versa.  It just doesn't feel polished.  Perhaps using some sort of fade effect to transition would make it feel a bit more natural and engaging.

For me, the simple pleasure of panning, zooming, and rotating a map smoothly is a huge part of the visceral experience of a TBS game. Really nailing this component will make this game feel much more polished, fun, and beautiful.
