In the new beta, the 3D buildings have been replaced with the old flat ones. I honestly dont see why. The 3D buildings looked better, gave cities more life, and made the map feel less empty.
They already turned into simple icons when zoomed out, so its not like they were cluttering the map. You only really saw them when zoomed in anyway.
I actually like most of the other visual changes in the beta. The new green color for nuke zones looks good. The only part I'm not a fan of is how the area eventually turns black.
My biggest issue is still the buildings though OpenFront is obviously a map game but having some minor visual representation of cities makes it more enjoyable to look at and play. Just like CIV when you zoom in and see your little farms. The 3D buildings were a nice touch and I think removing them makes the game look worse for no real benefit.
I'd rather see them kept as the default instead of going back to the old models.
Repost from a Discord suggestion, reposting because I thought it might gain more traction here. :D
