Zoom In and Number Control

Postby AxemBlue » Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:43 pm

Hey, a topic not about new races!
Forget changing the game, I just want a bit more finesse of control over it.

I propose a zoom in button for those small custom maps. It would help with the cluttered look you get with all the race icons.

We can already fill a territory with an 8 with the shift key, but what about other numbers? I think you should be able to use the keyboard numbers to place that number of units. This would streamline unit placement and make the game faster.

Both these ideas would take almost no additional coding, so I hope to see them in the next version.
Why am I still skulking around here? That's a very good question.

I think they want to be able to zoom in extra whereas currently you can only zoom in to undo zooming out (If I remember correctly...).

There really isn't a need to zoom in extra the most zoomed in you can get is fine if you zoomed in more you would get too few territories on the screen.

I think what he means is that he wants to be able to zoom in so close that it looks almost microscopic. ;)

Actually on some maps with really small territories a zoom 1once would be nice, but it's barely necessary.

The number control idea is great. Using the numbers corresponding the number of troops placed would be great on large maps (really useful for attrition)
