    Default The "next total war" needs to have a better camera view!

    I didn't like the warskape engine´s camera view, I liked the Rome and medieval 2 camera view and this is why.
    when you zoomed in on the battlefield in Rome and Medieval 2 you came foreword and downand not just down as in empire and the later games. Also when the camera was spinning around in rome and m2, the camera wouldn't just turn around on the spot but it would circulate around the soldiers for a better view.
    I now that It is an option in the warskapes engin games that allows you to circulate around your soldiers, but that circle is far to big and the circle doesn't become smaller as I scroll down.

    I relay hated the camera view in the last 3 games, and I think they Should bring back the old camera view, or make it so you can customize it more.

    What do you think is the warscape´s camera view better or worse and why?

    one thing i would add to the list is that the zoom in makes it too slow, so u cant acompany the charge scene as desired so well, u gotta kinda get ahead of it to see it well and follow ur soldiers...
    i agree with ur ideas, i suggest creating some simple option screen to customize better the stuff u listed, i miss them too...

    empire had no camara shake, napoleon's shake was over compensated so zooming in was like having a siezure, and S2 has decent shake.

    Although its not dependant on the warscape engine at all, so this thread is even more unnecesary then it would have been.

    Although the camera shake have to do whit camera view, I was more thinking of how the camera moves around on the battlefield. I hate Camera shake and I think they should remove it from the upcoming tittle, if they have added it. But this picture that I attached describes what I thought.

    I say they need to bring back General Camera. I was disgusted upon purchasing Empire that CA had discarded the General Camera. When I play RTW and MTW2 I play only in General Camera. It just adds for so much realism. Like when you screw up in RTW and your general gets nailed, you basically lose control of the battle because you're lying on the ground dying. Having no general camera is too unrealistic.
    "Huh?"
