There is too much zooming to my taste in tactical battles.
When you have 2 or 3 archer units, you get one of them automatically selected, so zoomed on it, then scroll to get to the enemy unit, maybe scroll again becasue the nice card popped up and masks the units, click the unit and shoot (zoom on archer, follow arrow - zoom 1).
Then, another unit is autoselected, zoom back there (zoom 2), must scroll, select click again, shoot (zoom 3).
Then next unit, say, your pretender, I mean channeler, is selected (zoom 4). She casts a spell (scroll, click enemy). Zoom again for the fifth time.
If I want to control 3 units and shoot at 1 opponent, I suffer 5 visual zooms, and must scroll 3 times when I want to click three times the same unit.
Considering that clicking in tactical battles is easily lost on the next tile, it slows the game a lot.
Would it be possible to add in options to:
1) Disable zooms in tactical battles totally, so ONLY the player is responsible for moving the camera/zooming on units?
2) Disable unit and spell animations, along with arrow flights?
I know this may end up with tactical battles looking more like Chess, but I'd really prefer.
