Agreed. In RTSs, especially ones with the scale of SupCom, you can often just tell your army to attack and then zoom out, sit back, and watch the battle (obviously I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but you get the idea). In Demigod, you need to continually manage your character, activating abilities and items, and pulling him back if his health gets too low, etc.

I'm all for a strategic zoom, but a minimap should definitely be an option (even SupCom had a minimap).

a minimap can always be modded out, but not modded in, the same goes for Strat. Zoom. so give us both and let us use them under our own devices.

+1 Minimap and +1 strategic zoom icons

nah strat icons are not needed for Demigod, they aren't very beautiful and you can see the units without it anyways as they are bigger than in supcom.

I totally agree that it sometimes is hard to recognize regulus or other Demigods and which team they belong to, however I think there should be a better way than strat icons to solve that problem. I am no gfx expert but I am sure you can do it without strat icons.

in SupCom, strat. icons appear at a reasonably zoomed out level (basically when it's needed) not all the time (though there is an option to always have them on if you're so inclined).

possibly add a more discretely coloured shader to creeps at far zoom levels? UT3 done this quite well for both enemies and their vehicles.

I can't say much other than: we're looking into it.  That doesn't mean it's guaranteed.
