Scroll wheel

The game requires a scroll wheel. Indeed, you can't get past a certain part of the tutorial without one. Since I lack a scroll wheel on my trackball (and don't want one anyway), this is a problem...

Is there another way of zooming in? If not, I can say that Homeworld faced the same problem and decided to allow zooming by pressing and holding both mouse buttons while moving the mouse ball. Alternately, letting me use the page up, page down buttons (I think GalCiv2 does this) would be next best...

See if you can edit the controls to do it. If not I'm sure Blair or somebody from IC/SD will be along soon to help you out.

I bought it, DLed it, built the new computer, re-dl it. Really, is that the most important thing? Other than showing off the awesomeness of Stardock's distribution method...

Fair enough, though as a former editor I feel the need to point out that it isn't my grammar you're criticizing, but my sense of time. So, if you want to be specific, I built the new computer, using my old hard drive, played the game, formated the hard drive, reinstalled the game etc...

This has already been brought up (though why anyone would not want a scroll wheel, I can't live without mine) and the devs are looking into it.

Right now you should be able to use z,x, and c to change zoom levels, as well as caps lock (or the button on top of the HUD). Can you get through the tutorial using those?

It shouldn't be too hard to allow people to bind keys for zoom in and out.

Thanks for the heads up!

I can, thanks. What I can't do is actually zoom. That is: I can toggle between 3 levels of detail, but I cannot pull back or forward. I eagerly await the fix to this...
