you just press the follow projectiles button on a missile unit and when the arrows hit you press pause and select another unit. now you should have a closer view
i dont think theres another way.
Umm...do you mean zoom in/out the battlemap? Cant you do it with the scroll roller on your mouse? Anyway I have never tried to do anything with projectile weapon chose. Do you mean that the camera follows the arrows until they strike their target?

This does work but i see it more as something that needs fixing than zooming in to battle http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

yep, if you right click on your range unit, then select follow projectile (their is a short cut but I don't remember), and you will follow next arrows/bullet throw... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

i dont have a scroller on my mouse
I strongly recomment you to buy one-it gives a big big boost to the game and not only that game.
Otherwise I do not know any zoom shortkeys.
on the numpad press * for zoom and / for unzoom. - for tilt down and + for tilt up.

If you are really just wanting to see enemy positions, why not turn off the view restriction? That way you can go anywhere on the map you want to.
Chk chk, the practice of loping your general along with the projectile should be banned. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

What Kraxis said. Its quite entertaining to zoom all the way in and move into the thick of a battle. They have some nice details on the individual men.

oh? you have time to actually zoom in to them when they engage? Because from my experience they fall so quickly, I just can't match their speed http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
What is really fun to see is a Varangian Guard Valour 8 sourounded by 3 villager units valour 0.
Hey I tried the projectile thing with some arbalests last night and it was fun This works the same with siege engines doesn't it?

It works with all projectile units siege equipment included. It's great to follow a stone into the middle of a formation. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif Especially when it kills the general in the process http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif
