Fix the Map Scroll Issues

[:1]

Ok what is up with the scrolling of the map.

First off u need to add an option for people to turn off scrolling with mouse. Some of us don't like that and totally ruins our game. If i'm not mistaken previous AoE games have had this option to turn it off. Other RTS games have this and it's an option that i personally use. I not only have a verysensitive mouse but i have a memory foam mattress where i sit and play on my 46" HDTV which i use as one big mouse pad and works very good. Anyway not only are the fitted sheet and protector very slippery but as you know memory foam sinks. It's not a good combo at all but i manage it for RTS games as i just use the arrows to move the camera around the map. But not having the option to disable the mouse scroll really hits the nail on the cofin as it can cause me to lose precious time and games (especailly on pvp). I'm at capital chatting on channel and eventually the camera will go to a corner and sit there because my mouse mover just a little. It's really frustrating (especially during an actual game).

Next thing that needs to be fixed is how the map scrolls. What is up with this. My mouse and keybaord go left but the minimap goes down. What the hell. mini map shows north south east and west. My partner on coop/pvp is telling me to bring my army to the west yet i spend so much time trying to navigate around the map since my GPS basically goes in the opposite direction. I had to reassign my hotkeys correctly so that when i press down i actually move down and not left. Even then when i go down the minimap scrolls in another direction so even with me reassigning it correctly the minimap is still wrong. How am i suppose to go to battle if my units are going the wrong way thanks to this issue. I might aswell just spam villagers for the whole game and not make any military and just take my beating when it comes because obviously when i need my military they won't get there in time as i have to spend more time figuring out which way is the correct way.

So please can we get this fixed out of the many 100 different problems that is wrong with the game. Its little things like this why i haven't jumped to premium yet let alone not ever going to if stupid stuff like this doesn't get fixed let alone allowing it to happen on launch day. I'm sure i'm not the only one upset about the constant problems with the game that need major fixing since the game in general is awesome its the little things like this that really bugs us.

|||Have none of these issues navigating the map, i'd like any changes to be optional if they do happen, because i'm happy with how map navigation works, and(to me) it feels practically no different than previous games.

I just noticed what happened its my camera rotation. The there should be an option for us to turn on/off for the minimap to rotate with the camera rotation. That way when the camera rotates the minimap does aswell. GTA has this where the GPS rotates when the car/player rotates aswell.

I understand its like a compass in real life but this is a game. I'm not trying to find my way home i'm just trying to order my military in the right direction.

|||or a hotkey to reset the camera to default
|||Yes!!! please provide a reset camera hotkey or button, that's why i never rotate, it's impossible to get it back *exactly* where it started, you can always get it close, but it's never *quite right*.
