Moving at the crawl seen in this video is not very pleasant in the late game.

I was using click-and-drag to move around the map quickly. Until the speed is increased that might be a solution for you.

Oh my god yes, the map scroll is super too slow. It should be, like, fast if you're near/at a screen edge, maybe slow scroll as you approach the edge. (I think several other strategy games have solved this?)

I came to say the same thing.  Both scrolling, and zooming in and out.

I suspect the view camera has some sort of "acceleration" parameter, such that rather than immediately increasing the velocity from 0 to the desired velocity, the velocity is instead slowly increased from 0.  But really I just wish the camera started moving at the top velocity immediately upon the user's keystroke.

Yes. its just unbearably slow to move it.  

Click and drag the screen being fast enough is not a solution to this, because I am used to scrolling by moving the mouse near the edge, and want to do it this way.  Also tried the WASD movement, it was also unbearably slow.

The speed should speed up the closer your mouse gets to the edge of the screen.  So if youre a couple inches away from the edge, it moves about the current rate (slow), but if you push it to the edge it moves very fast.

yeah way too slow, and it's true even when you don't zoom out entirely, it should be adjustable in the option.

yes, [wasd] map movement was way too slow when zoomed out
wish it scaled by the value of zoomed map

Agreed

Agreed. Or maybe just adding a minimap, it is still very hard to properly navigate the map even with click and drag.

Still far too slow in the latest beta. Should be a slider in the options. 

Wondering how this has been this way through the entirety of testing? How could anyone bear this for this long I mean! ?

/agree

100% agree with this. One of the first things I did when I started to play the game was go through the options to find a scroll speed setting as I pan around using keys rather than mouse dragging. Was disappointed to see that there was not an option to increase it.

So sad it is still a problem in the current closed beta.

Yas!

Absolutly agree.

When zooming out, my goal is to have an overview and quickly move around the world map.

No idea why the camera speed (when controlled by the mouse AND/OR by keyboard) is so slow. Yes you can click and drag but I would love to at least being able to change the zoomed out camera speed in the settings.

...and still not fixed in the released game. =/

I assumed they would fix this on release with it being pretty much unusable... Crazy it hasn't been adjusted

It's crazy slow. I think I've spent more time looking through the settings and online forums to find a way to speed it up than to play the game itself. It must be a bug on some configurations, right? Nobody could actually want to play like this. 

The speed is absurdly slow and it's obviously been brought up for months. It actually makes me not enjoy playing the game.

Where is the scroll speed slider?

There's a slider to adjust "edge scroll speed" but it doesn't appear to do anything (not to WASD scrolling or to edge scrolling).  Seems like a bug.

This has to be an easy fix. WASD moving around the map is the main way most people move around in these games. Please fix this asap.

It is far too slow. I agree.

Completely agree, even in released game camera movement is too slow. Fix it please!

Adding my name to the list. Far too slow. The max speed needs to be probably 4x higher than it is now for map-edge panning. We also need the existing slider to apply to keyboard keys as well, or another slider for keys. This method is also far too slow right now. (Using keys is my preferred method for panning)

Problem has been known for 8 months, still in game at launch, not even a slider to adjust the speed. This is very disappointing and needs fixed asap.

I've found the click and drag method to be my preferred method because of this.

Bizarre that this didn't get fixed at any point.  This isn't some herculean task that will take massive dev resources.  It's really annoying to have to use the mouse to scroll the screen, and the WASD is so slow that's not even remotely functional.

Two hours into the game, I built an outpost far away from my capital and ran into the agonizing slow scrolling. Good thing that I googled this thread and someone suggested the drag and drop to scroll, because otherwise I might have stopped the game. This is the #1 thing to fix, IMO.

I also can't stand the slow camera speed using WASD. I'd even try edge panning but that's not any better. Click and drag just isn't a solution that I find viable, due to the chance of clicking a unit or city in the process (and the fact that I shouldn't have to resort to using a style of camera movement that feels so unnatural just because the game fails to implement anything else adequately).

The game is interesting and fun, but I've already suffered the slow speed for one full game and I just can't stand to play another one. This game's staying off my PC until I read some patch notes saying the camera pan speed has been increased significantly. No amount of features or balancing matter if the core gameplay, moving around the map and clicking things, is too painful to endure.

You guys aren't doing it right. If you want to get somewhere, scroll all the way out with your mouse wheel, then put your pointer where you want to be, zoom it. I get to wherever I wasn't to be in 1/2 a second. 

Looks like they fixed it. In the current update the scroll speed is much faster.

Looks like I was doing it right after all.

Thanks for listening Amplitude, and fixing a serious quality of life issue!

Yes, thankfully they fixed it,
now we just need the humongous amount of other myriad improvements to make this game the kind of superawesome it deserves to be...

and huge worlds can not be zoomed out far enough.

i miss the civ4 zoom out that deforms to a sphere projection (unrealistically, but good for navigation).
