It's becoming more and more bothersome in tactical maps without being able to edge scroll them.  Please please please add this in!!!

I used to think you all were crazy until I experienced this first hand yesterday.  The AI had an archer sneak off to the edge of the screen and I couldn't find him because of this issue!  So I agree now... FIX IT!!!

I find click dragging the map around much more comfortable then edge scrolling, so much that i disabled edge scrolling in the options.

it would be nice. I spent my first 20 or so battles being completely unable to scroll the game, as i hadn't figured out the clickdrag method.

Whenever an enemy walked offscreen, i assumed the game had bugged out, and i'd just hit the autoresolve button to finish the battle.

If I remember correctly, click dragging is done with clicking the scroll wheel as if it were a button?  If so, no thank.  I strongly dislike clicking the scroll wheel it just does not feel natural to me at all.  Does anyone know why there's no edge scrolling in tactical maps?  Was it a deliberate choice, and if so, why?

While its a good suggestion, you might want to suggest it in its own thread instead of posting it in a thread with another subject ^_^

You use the left mouse-button to click-'n-drag. The scroll wheel is used to scroll, rotate, and tilt the camera.

Well you didn't hijack it, I was just suggesting that so there was a bigger chance for your idea to be noticed ;)
