Any chance we will get more camera controls?

I've recently experimenting with playing in terrain mode and quite zoomed in. I just wish I could tilt the cam a little more towards the horizon, allowing me to play zoomed in and feel close to the units and provinces but still be able to see a few provinces away.

A freelook toggle could maybe be an idea?

I had really hoped this too - Sengoku, which allowed full camera control, really showed off the 3d map beautifully while also enabling play from whichever angle you wanted. I do think that Paradox are selling short the work they've done on the map in recent years by being so restrictive.

I do understand that some 'min spec' PCs might struggle but if its an option then the user gets to decide whether or not to enable.

Really? (Hey, I'm gullible)

I suggested exactly this, OP, at the 1.2 Twitch stream a month or whatever ago. Johan seemed a bit skeptical, but they said it *could* be packaged in future. We just need to make enough valid points and noise!

I for one would love it for the AAR-screenie opportunities.

They showed off a fully free-rotating and positionable camera in the Ask-anything stream. They didn't seem to want to make it public but I have been meaning to pester them to make it free for all to use to add an extra flair to AARs.
*That's* the one :)
