Feature request - modern camera dragging

The current camera drag behavior in the game is different than what is implemented in most games these days. The current system constantly moves the camera in the direction your mouse is from the point where you started holding the drag button.
The system I would like to see is the camera would move when you are holding the key and moving the mouse, e.g. actually clicking and dragging the camera.

I’m here to put my voice behind this. This was something that frustrated me to no end in AoE4 until the devs fixed it. Except it’s WAY worse in this game, not sure who or what the current AOM:R version is designed for.

It would be really cool to just have Starcraft2/AoE4 style camera drag with no acceleration or “Dead Zone” in the middle of it.

I agree with both gentlemen above, we need drag-scroll and it would be nice to be able to use the location camera too.

The current mouse-drag system on PC seems to have been set up for consoles… Could we get AoE4-style mouse drag, please?

OMG yes this please. The mouse drag in this game right now makes me want to throw my mouse across the room when action heats up and im needing my APM. There is a deadzone you have to overcome before the camera starts moving, and then it quickly ramps up speed the futher you go, as if my mouse is a joystick. I absolutely hate it. It feels so unresponsive and actually holds me back. I have no idea why they made this function like this. I cant see how anyone would prefer this.

Yeah, what they implemented is more akin to a mouse joystick camera.

Really hope they can just make it mouse drag. It really drags the whole experience down.
