For some inexplicable reason, I can't figure out how to zoom in to see the action better. I know you can rotate the camera, but I thought for sure zooming in was a feature. Yes, I have the retail version, so this is the real deal. Can anyone enlighten their cave-dwelling friend, please?
Welcome to my grotto!

Use + and - to zoom in and out. Note: the one at numpad.

Is there a way to set the default view on far back?

the default view IS the zoomed-out view. You can't zoom out more because it'd reduce frame rate to about 2.
AoM Zoom Editor So you can get it above your regular viewing distance.
Note that this may cause out-of-sync online. So only use it if you play singleplayer. Or if you are going to play multiplayer, remove the file startup\user.cfg it creates.
EDIT: Boo! You beat me to it! aoe2bug posted our tutorial. What I posted above is the program to do it if your too lazy .
