Is it possible to limit the zoom in?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to limit the "zoom in", so I would not fall in the mode were the icones are transfert to more define images?

If it is possible, would it help my graphic card in the bigger maps?

Thank you.

Yes, & it is easy to do. 

File:  MapSizeDefs.xml

Change: <MinCameraZoom>100.0</MinCameraZoom>  to  <MinCameraZoom>2900.0</MinCameraZoom>

I had lots of crashes before i made this change.  You need to do it each map size.

Just to add informations : we must start a new game to get the new zoom.

Other information:

We must repeat the procedure every update.

One of my complaints has been why doesn't saves/game remember your zoom level?  This way one doesn't have to adjust every time one either resumes the game they have been playing or starts a new one.

what I would like is to be able to zoom out further before it switches to icon mode. Does anybody know how I could do that?
