Map elevation 3D model - does it feel truly scaled for all different map sizes?

[Lazy sweeper]

It works the same as strategic view. Meaning it works ok, but if it allows seeing something you don't see in default view, that's pretty bad design of the default view.

Have you tried Frostpunk 2?
It doesn't look bad to me... it has bridges over valleys, and other cool elevation tricks.
I think it uses the wire pseudo transparency method, I haven't played it in a while.

Edit: I checked, it uses map rotation also.
