I see that streamers do a lot of Zooming in and out with their wheel mouse. It's hard for the fingers.
Is it possible to assign hotkeys for zoom levels to mouse button ? Can you show that ?

Another request; Can we see the Racial victory condition panel ? No one seems to have shown this...

Thanks

There is pgUp pgDn keys for zooming (which can be re-mapped).

Also, I'll try to remember tonight to go into that victory screen. [:)]

There are also hotkeys for the various zoom levels.

I was thinking more about the old Hotkeys like <home>, <insert> and <End> that zoom directly to a zoom level.

But i suppose that these hotkeys are available also.

Thanks Erik.

To add to the requests, I found there are really great overviews of the main UI mechanics. That being said, there are some really amazing things hidden in some of the sub menu’s that I jus noticed on Larry’s stream. Which is for fleets, the bottom right button in the bottom left window when a fleet is selected provides a fly out with many fleet options like stances and formation tightness, etc. I wonder how many of these little gold nuggets are out there that seem to being missed. So if your preview streamers have a moment don’t forget to showcase some of these more hidden gems it would seem.

Also from a dev diary standpoint, a deep dive on fleet mechanics like mentioned above would be awesome.

The hotkeys might not be that conveniently located.
Stuff like PageUp/Down, Home, End, etc. - I do not think they actually work. I always catch myself using the scrollwheel or the mouse, rather then going for them.

They are very inconviently lowcated, usually half a keyboard from WASD where most gamers keep their fingers. Asuming there are still a few keys unused in that area, maybe move them there by default?

When i know that i am going to play Distant world for a while; i put the hotkeys like <home>, <insert> and <End> in my mouse with Programmable Buttons.
It is more comfortable.

A wise idea.

Yet it also shows exactly how bad those places are, given that "putting them on your mouse" is better then using them where they are [:)]

Sorry! My Old-Man-Brain forgot about this tonight. To be fair I said I would TRY... [;)]

Anybody can post a screenshot of the Racial victory condition panel ?

The Victory panel is the same as in DW1.
I think several of the conditions are the same. Down to the last digit [:D]

ok, good to know

Yay! I remembered! [:D] I have a bit of a wander through the victory screen here: https://youtu.be/hwv43OFrHwc?t=15724

Thanks Larry! Love the victory screen!

Thanks. It seem to be almost identical to DW1.
