    Guide to shoot catapults (/archers) you can't see.
    1. Go to the 2nd zoom level, not fully zoomed out.
    2. Go to the totally zoomed out mode. (You are able to see further for a split second, in full screen at least)
    3. Now you know where the cata (/archer) is aim that way
    4. Keep changing your aim until you see a nice +15 (/+5) at your coins.
    5. Keep shooting until you don't get the +15 (/+5) any more. You either destroyed the cata (archer) or it moved. (go to step 1)

    If you are jut spraying at knights or other moving objects, keep track of your coins. When you get coins keep spraying in a similar direction.

    You are probably able to see further with a little bit of hacking, but that's hacking. duh

    Camera settings can be changed in the Options > Player menu, though this will not let you see further than anybody else; it's the same thing with different controls.

    I think it would be useful to have the option to 'not hide HUD' when you mouse to the edge of the screen - that way, you can (as an archer) see (by the addition of gold) when you're aiming right to hit that cata etc.
