Is there a way to tweak the UI to zoom out more, particularly in strategic view? One of the old versions of VP allowed it often, which was a glitch, but I miss it since.

Seeing the whole map or most of it with more detail than minimap is helpful in the second half of the game and on huge maps. I know the amount of detail can exhaust the memory but I have never had crashes while zooming IF the yield icons were disabled. I also know about "Minimum Zoom Level" in config.ini but that is for zooming in not out. An alternative would be a much bigger and slightly more detailed minimap but that would probably need serious work and would be an obstruction on smaller screens.

I'm really grateful to all modders for keeping VP and modmods going! (My first thread here)
 
I made a mod for myself to increase the minimap to twice the size. I can share it if you're interested. It's for non-EUI only.

Yes please, thank you! I'm used to EUI but big minimap would be very helpful.
 
EUI's MiniMapPanel.lua has a comment that says "allows minimap resizing". Has that ever worked?

VP doesn't use EUI's minimap though.
