Rotate camera view

[Sandmann]

Sometimes in the video presentations for new map changes in EU4 the camera fly slowly over the map and also rotate which make you see the landscapes, hills and elevations from different perspectives very nicely. It would be cool if the camera view could be rotated in the game aswell making it more 3D. Or perhaps it could be an optional setting.

While I kind of agree with this, I get very frustrated when I nudge the camera slightly in this kind of scenario and can never get it back to the default veiw. Rage quits have been had over less

Kind of like how Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 has both an isometric (default) camera, and a free-roam camera. I'm sure they could release this mechanic as a small DLC, since it's so much cooler to look at my nickle-and-dime DLC unit packs from the ground, haha.
But maybe the default camera could be bound to a certain key, and you can use the directional buttons to move the camera around while holding middle mouse.
Or they can release however the devs do it, that'd be cool too.

Oh that could be very cool, i would love such a feature. Its a +1 for me

I was going to make an argument against this for performance, but if you aren't using other camera angles the renderer shouldn't have to do any more work than a simple conditional check for "fancy_camera == true"; what's that going to cost me, a microsecond of lag between screen updates? I'm all for it.
