Hello. why does i can’t zooming on the map and units when i play multiplayer? Why it’s only possible in campaign? i learned it is a matter of latency and even balance. What the hell is this story?
The philosophy is about keeping the experience as close to the original as possible.
There are a lot of things that are not changed in order to preserve that.
Also the BW community has a lot of purists like me that fear changes that could affect game balance. I personally dont think that zooming in would be that much of an issue, but zooming out could be possibly. Perhaps zooming in could make microing easier in certain situations, but Idk. In the end it is also about preserving the feeling of the original game, not only balance.
The thing is that you can zoom in on singleplayer matches. I presume it has something to do with balance.
Only when observing.
Not only when observing. Any single player game has zoom.
It is not a priority, Multiplayer balancing is, and it is mainly important in observing.
