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.
Horribly impractical, and not likely to be implemented. I already suggested the idea of a campaign map NPC that would do the same thing without using any new commands.

The problem is the lack of roleplayers. This stuff would fill the gaps and add a strategic element to the whole thing.
