Rotate view

[Belzun]

Do you know if it is possible how to rotate the view? It is quite difficult to do some things like deleting an existing road when a building is in between and I can't rotate the view.

Hello there, it is not possible to rotate view, however you might find the "Flat Mode" function (default keybind "F" key) helpful, as it hides all buildings, therefore giving you access to roads in between buildings.

I have been playing Pharoah since it first came out. I started playing A New Era immediately and so far I am liking what I see. However, the lack of a map rotation capability and mini-map are, in my opinion, a major oversight. It will be especially difficult as the cities scale up. Yes "Flat Mode" will help but it is a poor substitute at best. I do hope that this oversight will be addressed in future updates.

I like the new flat mode. It's very clean and makes it easy to see what's going on behind all those buildings. But I never liked that I had to rotate the map to begin with.

Could you explain the decision to not have map rotation?

Discord server: It caused issues with worker pathing, so they scrapped for Flat Mode®™

Flat mode is definitely not a valid replacement.
The rotation isn't just about seeing something that's obscured, it's also about seeing the city from a completely different angle, at least for me. See the buildings from a different angle.

I got used to the new feature and now the rotate map would be a nice to have but not a must for me.
What is still a must for me is the minimap. It is totally essential, even more when playing in big maps.
