If we had a command like
NPC Code:
setfocus2 level,x,y;

and maybe a command to set the zoom of the player so they could see about 4 levels at once, the mouse could be used to control the units or something, similar to Starcraft, Warcraft, and those other games.
Unfortunately, we don't have commands like that. I'm all for something like a war map that Kaimetsu suggested, where you could send your units, although I'd prefer there were commanders along with them. (After all, who ever heard of an army without a commander?
