How you zoomed the battle map in SS?

Let me explain what i mean , the battles are now more zoomed the soldiers are bigger than the vanilla the modders somehow zoomed the game like i was able to do with the RtW camera fov option in the preferences file, how could you do that what file i should edit?

And another question is there any option that allows you to zoom more with the mouse scroll i mean to bring the soldier so close as you were inside their ranks,
Thanks anyway

SS doesn't mess with camera settings and as far as I know you can only change camera speed. Zoom seems to be hard coded (can't change it)

Try different settings. I'm not on my home computer so I can't check what settings I have but I remember every time I reload any TW game the camera settings are a pain.

It might not be possible to get into the ranks of the soldiers in every battle but on slight slopes I can zoom down with mouse wheel to eye level or just about heads of the soldiers and below the heads of cavalry.

ctrl + ' gives a close up, but other than that there is nothing.

Iam possitevely sure that SS somehow zoomed the battle map, if anyone is familiar with the RTW camera fov option in the preferences he will now what i mean.
To verify this just check the historical battles the cut scenes cause the game is somehow zoomed are entering INSIDE the characters that are depicting instead of depicting them for close up.
The games camera impression is a clue it is somehow better than the vanilla

I did find this somewhere else though.

[camera]
fov = #

SS doesn't use this option so it has the same fov of vanilla. I have no idea what default is or what you should change it to.

It should be copied into default.cfg if you want to mess with it.

This was also in a thread about the cinematic editor, so I don't know if it even works.

hhhm i will check it, even though i think i have done it without any result long ago i will recheck it, but see it for your self if you play for eg a historical battle you will understand through the cut scenes the the game is overall zoomed in a bit.
