Depends on the crowd you want to attract to the game. I'm happy with the 2d interface, but it you want some of the "Gamers" to play you may need to jazz it up and add the 3rd dimention.
PS Gamers are the console, PC crowd that play the comercialized graphic games on the market. I consider the people that play games like Conquer and GB to be more like strategists and less "Gamer" like :)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
ok, GB is MOSTLY 2d (x and y) currently, I could move it to 3d or make it 2d only, but this hybrid stuff is right out...
so which is it? I prefer 2d because it makes clients simplier, and people have an easier time getting their heads around the maps.
so... its going to be 2d unless someone actually cares enough to give a good reason why not....
anyone?

well, since the old GB is in fact ALL 2D (been though all the source code). I'm going for the 2D thing.
however I'm building it using Point3D so if later people want to build a 3D version, it will be easy for them.
that should keep everyone happy.
