Suggestion: Battalions & General

both suggestions for strategus servers only

1. Battlion Enhancements:

Activating a colored boxing around banners, the colors depending on the Battalion you have chosen.
This also perhaps could be setted first time by those who make the roster, but later on people could still switch freely between the battalions as needed.

You only would see your own battalion with this graphical enhancement, not the other battalions and not the enemy battalions.

That then should lead to a better clearer organized formations and grouping within strategus battles.

2. General Free Camara

Also chosen within the roster, the general would get a slightly enhanced camera perspective.
He could zoom out by special keybind for 10-20 meters into all directions, quite like in spectator but reduced in range from the point where he stands.

trying yes, but then again how close to reality are so many of the features for real?
It is a game, playability in most cases not all, should beat realism.
We can argue if these suggestions would make the one or other case, but i would prefer to discuss either enhancing these suggestions with addional idears or restricting these idears by some extent where suitable.
It was not like to include helicopters after all  :D
