the combat is a little too dry

I really like turn-based combat games but I wish the combat was more fun in this game. The overhead maps are fantastic, but when you go to battle, you get a battlefield that is often much bigger than it needs to be. So you end up having to move your army around and it takes too long. The figures in your army are just too small to make the visuals fun to watch. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 does combat and battle-magic much better. There is an auto combat resolve option but what is the fun in that? Its a shame the combat wasn't more compelling because there is a solidly good game here. I still much prefer Disciples 2 or HOMM III over this game.
