Scrolling/Dragging Around The Map

[Fer_Cabo]

Isn't there (still) a way to move around the map without having to zoom out, clicking somewhere else and zooming in again ? No "automatic scrolling" when the pointer is positioned on the edges of the screen, or "Map Dragging" (like in other Map-viewers => Google Maps, etc.) by click-pressing on an empty location and "hand-dragging" the map in any direction?

I've seen some old requests for this feature (since 1.01 release) but don't seem to have been attended. Maybe i could not find it. If still not available, it would massively enhance the interface usability -in my opinion- and save a lot of time moving around.

Thanks!

I can move around the map by right-clicking.

[Fer_Cabo]

yeah... i know. But ain't it a bit clumsy and not very precise, normally having to resort to changing the zoom when you have to move around the map?

Take a look under game options

I agree with the desirability for a map drag option. I am only familiar with the zoom/center on/off mouse cursor option of the game options, and in the addendum I see mention of the quick-jump slots. Is there another option/setting we're missing in direct reference to the OP? Right-click drag to drag the map would be nice, or possibly middle-click drag. That's a pretty common feature in the RTS genre, which is similar enough. Often times when right-clicking to center the map near an area of interest, there are many units in the vicinity and I right-click a unit instead of empty terrain. Of course zooming on cursor helps with that, but I don't prefer that setting for other reasons. And another solution is the arrow keys, but not as convenient as a click-drag would be. What I wind up doing is zooming in, typically to a level where the units making up the point of interest are now off or nearly off screen, then having to right-click again and again to get to where I want be, zoom in a little further, and potentially repeat the process. A click-drag map scroll would be nice, and even a middle-click to center would be a step in that direction since it won't select a unit. The quick-jumps are useful, but still don't fill this functionality gap.

Ah I see. Not sure if we're willing to take this on this point but we'll see. If not we'll keep it in mind for the next game.
