Holding the middle mouse button (Mouse 3) and moving the mouse will scroll the screen.

Page Up and Page Down will change the height of the camera.

M3 sounds great. Unfortunately, I am on a laptop with touchpad. I believe there is some way of "M3-ing", but I think you need 3 hands. To then move the mouse would require a foot. Do Shrapnel supply a middle-button for laptop owners?

OK, so now I besiege a fortress. After X turns I get announcement that "wall has been breached and you can now storm" or similar. So I do storm. Unfortunately, my besiegers were archers with existing "fire" orders. They stood around outside a lot. Ho-hum

• Could I just have maintained the siege longer and the occupants would have surrendered/weakened?
• The "breach" just seemed to be the main gate was open/gone. I had expected bigger damage or even no walls! Was that it? If I hadn't waited/besieged at all, I suppose there would have been a gate with hitpoints I'd have had to break down?
• Looks to me like you just want melee troops for storming?
