-Add `view.zoom.max = "300" view.zoom.min = "30"` to your `user.cfg` file (see [[GameDataPaths|wiki/GameDataPaths]]). Increasing `view.zoom.max` will let you zoom out further, decreasing the value for `view.zoom.min` will let you zoom in closer. The game's default values are 200 and 50.

With a larger zoom max more things have to be drawn, expect reduced performance, especially on weak GPU's.

  - Play on smaller maps and limit population to 600 units across the map for all players. Rendering, simulation (e.g. gathering / attacking), and the pathfinder all have an impact on performance.  If you have more units, more things need to be drawn, which affects rendering, more things to calculate for unit activity affects simulation, and larger map sizes cause longer paths, which affects the pathfinder.
 
-By toggling the [[EngineProfiling#In-GameProfiler|wiki/In-GameProfiler]] with `F11 or Alt+F11` you can see which processes take the most time, often it is the `render` process.
