How to change camera angle in Civ VI

I'm not great at coding, so I'm bumbling my way through this. That being said, I
did find a relatively easy fix that works. Why, or how, beats me. If anyone on here
actually knows their way around coding, please feel free to provide more insight or
correct any mistaken assumptions :)

Navigate to this file in Civ VI's game directory:


'...SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Base/ArtDefs/Camera'

Make a copy of the file, and put it in another folder or rename it. Cos you know.
Just in case.

Open 'Camera' with Word Pad or Notepad.

Use a search function (ctrl+f) to find the following line of code: '<m_ParamName
text="Tilt"/>'. Search from the beginning of the file and stop at the first result.

This seems to be related to the camera angle when zoomed as far out as possible,
measured in degrees with 0 being directly perpendicular to the map (i.e. directly
overhead, looking straight down). The line above, '<m_fValue>45.000000</m_fValue>'
is the value that you should edit. I changed it to 30.000000 to give me more of a
birds-eye view.

A few lines below this (you can use another search function here) there's a line
that reads '<m_fValue>55.000000</m_fValue>'. This appears to be the angle when
zoomed in. I changed it to 15.000000.

Note that the default values of 45 zoomed out and 55 zoomed in means your angle is
slightly more acute (looking up, toward the horizon) when zoomed in. I like it the
opposite way�closer to birds-eye when zoomed in, and slightly more acute when
zoomed out, since I zoom out to see more stuff.
