AuthorOption to rotate the view of the battle field by 90 degrees
Most (all?) monitors are larger in width than in hight. Moreover, the battle view is narrowed even more in hight (for the control buttons and initiative bar and log/chat text), while the width is always maximized (width of monitor)

However in groups battles of 2-3 vs 2-3, the battle field becomes much higher than wider.

I think it would be a nice convenience to be able to rotate the view of the battle field by 90 degrees, so that more of it fits in the current view of the screen.

In my opinion this would be an easy to do and would add a nice touch to large group battles.

That's why the admins put in the auto scroll option in these large combats. It automatically scrolls the view of the field to the unit that currently has its turn.
+1 because the autoscroll slows down the flash player ?(at least mine)

The view of combat won't be nice when rotated 90 degree.

Autoscroll is good enough to manage the view of combats.

Not needed.
And agree with blazingarpit.

you want 3D huh?

-1 since admins never gonna do it:(

I hate a long loading!
He wasn't talking about 3D as in HOMM5, but only to turn the view by 90 degrees. I see the point, and I think it may have a good touch on GB-s. It is sooo annoying, when you can't see through the whole battlefield, and flash player is soo laggy while scrolling, that you sometimes can't even see the movement of an enemy stack, because of this lag.

+1 from me, It wouldn't be that hard to implement, methinks.
@HeartBreakkid: it's nothing to do with 3D.
@Javi,ChooJeremy,blazingarpit: autoscroll is slow, and doesn't show all the battle field. you have to manually drag up and down when you want to shoot, to see what else is on (which again: slow and cumbersome)
@X-hunter: nothing to do with a long loading! the graphic view/screen we see is already processed before displaying. showing it rotated would involve almost no additional complexity/time. it would actually work faster than the (auto)scroll.

it's just about seeing as much from the battle screen, as possible.
in computer graphics, rotating the display view by 90 degrees is (very?) easy.

anyway, i won't defend my suggestion anymore. its there, for anyone who reads & thinks for more than 2 seconds before replaying. the admins (which admins?...) can catch on if they think it's worth anything.
never gonna happen.
Would cost way too much time to program that :P

If your monitor supports portrait view you can rotate the screen for yourself.

Ctrl + Alt + Left arrow (and right arrow) also helps ;)
+1 It may never happen but its a good idea!

if you have everything made in 3D
