    Zoom function

    I just wanted to get this cleared up once and for all, since I never see it discussed and someone actually questioned a post I made in "why are you putting galciv aside" by asking how this would make the game more enjoyable for me.

    I think that being able to zoom to different levels on the main map would be a great plus for getting a better view of your surroundings (in addition to the zoomable "blip map" in the upper right hand corner.)

    Am I alone in this? Or is there a way to do it that I am missing?

    And to be perfectly clear, I am talking about the map that shows the actual ships etc...

    I'd like to see it. Aren't they adding that feature in the expansion pack?

        Glad to see i'm not alone, as I previously thought.

          alas, not in the expansion...

            Maybe the Pay for Play expansion that is coming this Christmas.

            I have suggested being able to zoom in and out of the main map (especially out), since GC 1.00.

              Well, since GalCiv is using sprites, I think this is a no-can-do. Wouldn't that require a fully implemented 3D graphics engine?

              I'm no graphics expert, but I think so.

                That shouldn't matter in the slightest to whether or not you can zoom.

                  I played the GalCiv demo and the lack of an efficient zoom was one of the reasons why I did not buy the game. I talked about this in a post but it was not considered as a major flaw.

                    I can't imagine a real strategy game, or a game pretending to be one, without an efficient zoom.

                      I consider it a substantial flaw

                        I'm always echoing this sentiment. It would help the game immensly IMHO.

                          I agree. It would certainly make the game more playable.
