Heyo!

If you, like me, have seen A_E's Strategic Zoom Casts, or have played any of the Total Annihilation inspired RTS games, then you've realized something awesome that could be, both for casting and gameplay (looking at the bigger picture), but isn't!

Unfortunately, A_E's work required a bit of effort.
All I'd like is some way to enable a better zoomed out experience.
Stuff like UI draw distance, zoom function centered on mouse, shadow draw distance (accounting for camera angle, please), if easily customizable, would greatly improve this sort of play without requiring further optimization or workaround mods.

Dear Lord, teach me to be generous; to give and not count the cost; to fight and not heed the wounds; to work and ask for no reward, save that of knowing I am doing Your will.
Argumentation, disagreement, and debate are critical for success.
The most important type of diversity is viewpoint diversity.

Not going to happen. Lots of people are already experiencing performance issues. Relic will not implement a feature that makes performance across the board even worse.

CoH

Like I said, allow us to customize stuff (as A_E did) in an .INI file or something like draw distance and other render quality things and the experience will be FINE without any need for optimization.
A_E doesn't have issues.
Heck, last patch they allowed us to adjust a few more settings with console commands related to graphics.
We can all agree we need more options anyways.
Furthermore, there's nothing stopping them from putting in optimization and THEN zoom out support.
