This increases the maximum zoomout to a decent height.

this will not be merged, for several reasons:

  1. Performace issues. Slower computers ( especially slow graphics ) get serious problems when they have to render more units.
  2. This changes the gameplay and ḿakes people play this game more like a spring RTS game. MG is meant for micromanagement too and you have to manage your fight manually in several cases. More zoomout will result in another way to play the game, which at least I don't like .

Not directly related, but I want to mention it: You can make maps and set the max camera height in the map if you think you need more zoom to play a map. This might be needed for maps with huge height differences and so on.
