Terrain blocking sight of units

from Elemental Forums

I noticed a lot of battles that the terrain (trees usually) block sight of me seeing a unit. The unit will be up, but I can't figure out where it is. Need to be able to change the isometric view or make some terrain transparent when a unit is behind it.

I have seen the same situation. However, I have found that you can realign the view by pressing the mouse wheel and dragging the view perspective.

Hold the middle mouse button and move your mouse.  You can change the viewing angle this way.

This also works in the Strategic view if you disable "Snap Back When Rotating" in Advanced Options.  Well, it works either way, it's just it goes back if you leave that option enabled (and it's enabled by default).  That option doesn't affect tactical combat, though.

IIRC, the 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys in the number row at the top of the keyboard also give you 4 different views, at least on the strategic map.
