Umm... thanks. I'll make sure to get around to downloading EB and finding out what any other cryptic comments you careto share mean any moment now :yes: :yes: :yes:

I've seen people post pics of the campaign map up close.... I know how to change the way I view the battle map, but that doesn't seem to work for the campaign map... so...?

Also, is there any "view" the way a settlement looks on the battle map when not in battle? I mean, yes, you so it once, go "huh" and then decide not to go through the loading times again... but is there some benefit to planning a battle or something of the sort?

One can usually zoom in on the campaign map using the mouse wheel. If one doesn't exist, the + (zoom in) and - (zoom out) keys typically replace it.

You can also zoom in on the mini-map in the bottom corner of the screen using the +/- buttons which are in its bottom right corner.

Yes, this in an option.

Firstly, double click on the settlement you wish to view. This will bring up the settlement's basic details.

Select the "View Settlement Details" button. Its usually the third one down on the far left hand side of the scroll.

Then, on the far left hand side of that scroll, select "View Settlement on Battlemap" - this is the top button.

Then the game should zoom down onto the battlemap and show you the settlement in peacetime - people wandering around going about their daily business e.t.c.

To return to the campaign map, press the "Esc" key, and select the relevant option.

Bear in mind that every city of the same size, and of the same culture, is exactly the same. For example, should you see one Roman Huge City, all other Roman Huge Cities are exactly the same.

There's supposed to be "reason to" before the "view". I really miss the edit button.

I can't think of a use - apart from previewing where to put troops in a siege?

It really is pointless though, cause you can just do that before the batle starts.

its just a novelty feature surely for those who want to see how their citys developed:idea2:
