Ok, maybe I am missing something here.....

I am actually not a huge fan of the new invasion screen.... maybe because it was totally different from what I imagined it to be.

So the flags just blink and you hear machine laser gun fire? Then in the top screen you just see the city becomming more and more destroyed?

I would like to see troops killing each other rather than blinking flags.

For me, the ideal invasion screen would be a similar style to the first invasion screen. Only with better graphics and some different graphics depending on your civ and your tech level. For example, lets pretend I am Drengin with Steller marine tech against the thalin. When I invade (with meteor strike) I see my drengin troops alongside some troops in power armor or whatever (cuz I researched steller marine tech) firing their green beams (cuz I researched plasma weapons). The thalin send their insects to battle cuz they are insectoid. They are firing red beams while rushing toward my drengin cuz they only have laser tech. Oh, and cuz I chose meteor strike, I see a meteor strike in the background.

I just don't understand something. The graphics for ship combat rock cuz you see your creation against another creation firing different weapons depending on tech. There are infinite possiblities since you can design any kind of ship in terms of looks. So why can't I see drengins against thalins in invasions with the same weapon animation differentiation that you see in ship combat??

I mean come on, blinking flags???

Am I just nuts or does anyone agree with me?
