Zoom window(s)

[Bluddy]

I know very little about AI War, but I'd like to provide a suggestion for the 3d graphics to be more relevant. How about having a zoom window that either will follow the mouse pointer, or be moved about? It would only appear when you're zoomed out a bit, and would give you the feel of seeing the models even when you're looking at the icons?

Just bouncing ideas back (not to belittle your idea, Blubby): a 3D model of the selected (or one of the selected) unit slowly spinning in a corner of the screen (or maybe in a corner of the stats-card)...
