Please save camera data in saved games files.

I am finding it a bit annoying to constantly re-establish the position, angle, and zoom amount of the camera every time I reload a saved game. Please add these to the list of things to be added to the saved game files (if it isn't already there).

I agree, it should be easy to add this infor to the save game and would be much better.

Since we already have 5 default camera views (hotkeys: '1'...'5'), maybe a custom camera view could be implemented.

This way the player can then switch between the various default camera views and the custom camera view (example hotkey: '0'); which the user could define (example hotkey: <shift>+'0'). And the camera settings could be saved in the Prefs.ini; allowing this preference to be available in other game (saves).

I think we are more discussing actual position and zoom information as it's annoying if you where focused on a particular area before a save for a reason come back a couple of days later and have forgotten and the camera is back to the default position and zoom so doesn't remind you what you where doing.

That i understood.

I simply want it both. A current view with the current focus (saved in the game save) and a custom defined one (saved in the prefs). Because i quite often will zoom in/out during the game for better overview of the action or to issue long range orders. And after that i have to manually go back to my preferred camera settings.
