Scale map labels by zoom

[Vultraz]

Simple UX improvement that occurred to me. Thoughts?

Sounds a good idea, but your two pictures suggest that the scaling ratio doesn't match the zoom ratio.

[Vultraz]

Wdym.

[stevecotton]

In one picture, the text is as wide as one side of the castle; in the other it's three times as wide as one side of the castle. So they seem to be experiencing different amounts of zoom.

I mean... they're not, though.

I'm not sure, but maybe the images themselves being different dimensions is making comparisons difficult. Perhaps it would be helpful to show a normal 100% view and zoomed-in view, for both 'before' and 'after' states.

In an isolated case like this it might be an improvement. Some scenarios are heavy on the labels, however, like the test scenario and defence of the Kalian. Of course, if labels don't overlap in 100% view, it should be fine when zoomed in as well, but it might be nice to see how those situations fare as well.

I mean… they are, though. That's literally the point of this change. I think @stevecotton may have missed that the two castles you displayed are the same zoom level. As @Wedge009 said it would be helpful to also show a 100% view as reference.

I'd go further and suggest showing a zoomed-out view as well. Perhaps using a different zoom factor for the text isn't such a bad idea, like scaling by 90% or 80% of the actual zoom factor.

My mistake, I read it as "before zooming"/"after zooming" rather than "before this change"/"after this change". Having tested, it looks good.

[Vultraz]

Zoomed out. You're right, it gets too small.

[Vultraz]

Made zoom go no lower than 1.0 and fixed the y offset.
