Game is way too zoomed in.

I cant feel like i am having full control. We should be able to zoom out more.

On Steam forums it was discussed a thousand times. On the official AoE forum- a billion.

Long story short- yes, maybe we should be able, but this version of the engine can't handle even further camera distance and it won't change more (it was improved a bit already.)
Use 'search' option - there's a lot of threads and posts about, there's not really anything that can be added to what was already said.

This has been already a discussion since earliest builds of the game xD

Change to panoramic camera in the options.

[Boar0311]

agreed

[Zaiyood]

agreed 100%. If it's been discussed "many times" already then the developers should come up with a solution.

Without being nasty; it took them a year to make color selection possible. Do you seriously expect them to touch the engine again? Or even build a new one? LOL & ROFL

agreed, it should allow for a greater zoom out option...I guess they optimized it poorly...

I looked internet for hour an half before i wrote here. I looked almost everywhere. I AM SORRY! but if unlimited cam zoom is possible with third party programs (a.k.a. cheats), it could&should be also done in vanilla. I loved the game in F2P weekend and bought it. But i HOPE! devs would bring it in game at least as an option. (There might be a people that wouldnt use it cuz of perfomance issuues or whatever.)

I dont know what is wrong with RTS devs these days, they love it to force us to see the bugs between grass. (cam zoom problem also there in Company of Heroes 3 title. and it is there even worse. Just because of this i will skip it)

why is the camera the way it is? im guessing they give you an excuse for it, but its probably because consoles in mind.....

do you feel good telling people who haven't seen the previous discussions that it has been discussed before ? do you really think someone new hasnt bought the game ? wouldn't be a lot more efficient to direct them to an answer instead of being a pompous jack ass !

It is to make it fair in PVP, otherwise people with better computer will be able to zoom out more-> unfair advantage hence why the devs decided to have 1 zoom size fit all to maintain the game's integrity

what do u know about development and why u talking?

Players want to zoom-in and zoom-out more. Not one of these. In the end, everyone wins!
