You can change the camera-setting in the Preferences.txt-file to debug camera. This will allow you to zoom in on the faces

where is this file?

Hey mate, do this:

- You must go to the preferences.script file in the folder C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun 2\scripts

You may need to show hidden files and folders to find this directory.

- Open preferences.script, find the line "default_camera_type". It should have either 0 or 1 following it. Change the 0 or 1 to 2.

- Save the file and exit it.

If you go into your options in-game, it will reset your camera to the original one, so be careful.

cheers.

but what does it change 0 1 or 2 ? and would this affect in any way the MP ? I guess nt since is the preferences files but you maynever know....

the '2' is the debug camera, the camera that allows you to freely zoom however low you want. The 0 and 1 are the the standard camera types you can find in the game options.

As for multiplayer, I've played a private match with a few friends in a 2 v 2 and there were no issues even though I had the debug camera enabled, so I don't think it causes any problems. When I'm playing properly, single player or multiplayer, I usually change my camera type to one of the standard ones as I simply prefer it. I only really use the debug camera for screenshots to be honest.

ok this is not what I wanted tough , what I wanted is to have the possibility to scroll in and out when I am locked on a unit , as you can see when you lock a unit with pressing canc or del it follows the unit when moves and you can zoom in and out but you can ohly untill a certain distance and you cant go further , I would like to be able to zoom in the face of the avatar when this modality is like it was in RTW ...
