Heh heh :)

It forces you to apply better attention to strategy. If you for example accidentally misplace an army in a battle your foe could find itself atop a highly elevated position and your limited view would give you a strong disadvantage while you gaze gainst a mountain.

Field battles are very doable, but siege battles can be very difficult with this camera setting and I would not recommend playing them due to the impracticality. A switch to an overhead camera is advised herefor.

I like the General camera and its controls, but if active in siege battles a more proper and effective scheme is required perhaps.
