Age Of Empires III Zoom Tip :)

[Gomezie]

Hey guys.. as the title suggests, saw this little tip and thought Id post it cos I know how much you love the game.. Plus lots of people say It makes it alot better..

Okay, find your game.cfg file (should be in: \Age Of Empires III\Startup) and open it with Notepad or your favourite text editor. (Make sure you untick "Read-Only". Right click > Properties > Read-Only box!!)

Find the line "MaxZoom", default should be at 60. Change it to 120 (You can go higher if you want, just a warning: zooming out more puts more strain on your gfx card so if you have a low-end PC dont make it too high )

Also change "NormalZoom" to whatever you changed "MaxZoom" to.

Close + Save it. Restart AOE 3

NOTES:
1) Do this at your own risk!!
2) Make a backup of your game.cfg before editing anything!!
3) Enjoy
