Farther Zoom

Farther Zoom further zoom

A mod that lets you zoom further to see more of the map and get closer to appreciating the intricate details of the game's gorgeous graphics.

Unlike its predecessors, this mode works with worldviews and strategic views. It also tilts the camera more aggressively in close-ups and less so further away.

The mod only touches one file, Camera.artdef. My version includes a few humanizing comments to describe situations where you would like to tweak things further. See the attached Readme.txt for details, or the complete changes I made if you're more technically convinced.

Note: If you see clipping artifacts around the edges (i.e. yellow hexagonal tiles) when zooming out, try this. I've tried my best to reduce their occurrence compared to other "further zoom out" modes, but can't account for all screen resolutions and graphics settings.
