(for example to add horses to the hnh you should redraw many sprites, while in 3d you should just add new skeleton animation). Of course there's speedup solutions for 2d too, by anyway 3d seems to be better.
The only problem with 3d is performance, because you cannot prerender levels and everything should be calculated on update. But there's lot's of optimisations too.
you can build the actual stuff in 3d and export 2d sprites from all angles.
Like in that old game graphic type, like Gene wars?
I could be very happy with it, really happy
I think most 2.5d games were done that way, rather than hand-drawn from every angle
