There needs to be an option to zoom in way more. I like to be able to see the battles up close, it gives a more exciting/immersive experience. We should be able to zoom in close to the level of the characters if we choose to do so. I personally don’t like the zoomed out look when in battles it makes it more boring to me. Even with the camera fully zoomed in the way it currently is it still isn’t enough. This would make the game literally 1000x better. it’s a great game one of the best strategy games ever made but it just needs this one aspect to take it to the next level for player immersion. Warhammer Battle march that was released on the xbox360 did a really good job at this and its a similar gameplay. I like age of empires controls and gameplay better but Warhammer Battle march is much more fun to play because of the ability to zoom in and see more detail up close and personal. I’d love to see an update that could add this option.
I totally agree with you and i asked for It since the launch of the game. When i played to the closed alpha, you were able to zoom in more close (similar to Company of Heroes and Age of Empires 3 DE and AOMRE).
Developers said they limited zoom in because nobody play in this way but the real true Is that graphic looks bad of you zoom in on models. I posted a lot of screenhots about this argument (look at my posts).
Also, AOE4 have been released like a multiplayer game focused on e-sport and 1vs1 matches.
If you wanna play with more Zoom in you have to install the “free camera mod” but i Don’t like It. (There are many problems when you load a saved match, for example).
My only Hope Is that Developers Will update textures (on 4k resolution) with the next DLC.
100% and even if the graphics would suck up close id still be fine with that. Really hope they add this feature it would be an epic game if they did!
Many people asked to give us the option to zoom-in real close and out.
So everyone wins.
But they are simply not doing it and/or listening at all.
