    Is there any other way to scroll the camera other than hold-middle mouse and arrow keys?

    Can I scroll the camera with hold-right mouse?

    yea I mean, something not involving the middle mouse ?

    My middle mouse is tiny and it's painful to have to use it both for clicking and scrolling

    You need more buttons on your mouse. I have middle mouse click configured to the thumb button on my mouse, works great.

    You can get a setting where you move the mouse to the edge of the screen.

    I prefer middle mouse click.

    Use third-party software to re-bind mouse buttons, but be very careful with doing things like overloading the bind on right click. That already gets used by the game for giving orders.

    Definitely recommend using WASD. It is much more fluid and allows you to move the map while doing other things with the mouse. Only caveat is having to rebind a couple keys like attack and stop. Worth it though in my opinion.

    the best way to scroll the camera is to use hold right click... I wonder why there isn't any option to enable it.

    Note that this is the standard way to move camera for c&c games, and it worked pretty well

    Treadmill wired up to computer. Forward zooms in, backward zooms out.

    Well we've got the middle mouse click idea from Supcom I believe. It's just differences in RTS background. :p

    Can we have an acceleration option for keyscrolling?
    That would do a lot better for different zoom levels.

    Hi All,

    The middle mouse button on several of my mouses (a Dell standard optical mouse being one of them and some generic mouses) is not being registered by the game.

    'No problem' I thought, 'I'll just reassign it to my thumb button, or a keyboard button if need be'.

    .. But I can't find the option in the settings menu...

    It would be great if any game action that is binded to either a mouse or a keyboard button, could be reassigned to any other mouse or keyboard button.

    Seems like a great game by the way, can't wait to get into it! :D

    Currently looking for a mouse that will work with the game :)

    Thanks for any help.
