Re: The map that will never be
I have no preference for either. If I had to choose I would base it on zoom out definition.
By that I mean I zoom out frequently and I stop zooming out when province definition and/or detail is no longer discernable.

Re: The map that will never be
Interesting. I always play really zoomed in.
I wonder what that says about our personality types.

Re: The map that will never be
I play zoomed in also. I think its the RPGer in me. If I was more of a statician player then Id probably always be zoomed out.

Re: The map that will never be
WOW. You are making me feel like a wierdo.
I just quickly checked a map. The game starts with a view of approximately 10 provinces on my screen. I always play with a zoom out view of 20 to 25 provinces. I will zoom in for a specific view on occasion, but 99% of the time my screen shows 20 to 25 provinces.

Re: The map that will never be
I always play with the map zoomed out to the maximum I can while still being able to discern which units are in provinces. Of course that can be bad on small, wraparound maps where I end up looking at any given province 2 or 4 times on the screen at once..

Re: The map that will never be
I use the default zoom usually, unless it's too far in or out. I can imagine playing zoomed further out, but not zoomed in. I have no idea why you'd play really zoomed in.

I'm almost always playing at the default zoom rate, when the sprites on the map are at the same size as on the unit list in the left. Maybe zoomed-out people need the view to get the feeling that they're really watching their people from above?
