Hi I really like the replay game feature but it would be much better if you could zoom in and out, or even look around the map, not just where the player is. What would also be nice is if there was a slider bar so you could jump to certain parts of the replay. Apologies if this has been suggested before, i had a quick look but didn't see anything similar.

Hello, i would like have some options in replays... Just like select time, or zoom/unzoom... It is good for replays...
Maybe free look would be fine too.

Thanks

Time selection is not possible due to how replays work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3064 ... -in-a-game

TL;DR

The replay works with an adjustable zoom level or can use the player's zoom-level

What ?

Currently, the replay works with a fixed zoom-level, which is not adjustable.
It's not the same zoom-level as it was during playing!
I would propose the following:
I can adjust the zoom-level, while replay is running.
Alternatively, I can use the player's zoom-level, which was recorded during playing.

Why ?

When I replay my savegames, I often only see a small part of my factory.
I really would like to see better what's happening. Zoom-out to get a better overview or Zoom-in to see details. Or alternatively, see the same section, what the player has seen during gameplay

In particular when I review my biternest battles, I can not see what I shot at a rocket distance away. The rocket just goes off screen.
