I just noticed that the latest expansion didn't have a solution yet, so I added one for the expansion and one for the best civ mod ever: Fall from Heaven

Step 1: Backup the originals. Really, I mean it.
Step 2: Edit Beyond the Sword files.
I'll just put the changes here. Replace the original elements with the new ones.
I left the original values inside comment-tags ().

Code:

         &lt;Name&gt;DF_SKY&lt;/Name&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;6000, 0.00&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;6400, 1.0&lt;/Key&gt; --&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;14500, 0.00&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;15500, 1.0&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;%CAMERA_MAX_DISTANCE, 1.00&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

      &lt;Fader&gt;

         &lt;Name&gt;DF_GLOBE_TERRAIN&lt;/Name&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;6000, 0.00&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;6400, 1.00&lt;/Key&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;14500, 0.00&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;15500, 1.00&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

      &lt;Fader&gt;

         &lt;Name&gt;DF_GLOBE_MORPH&lt;/Name&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;6400,   0.00&lt;/Key&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;15500,   0.00&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;%CAMERA_MAX_DISTANCE*0.97, 1.00&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;3000.0, 1.6&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;5000.0, 2.0&lt;/Key&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;1700.0,  1.0&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;3700.0, 1.3&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;7300.0, 1.6&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;13000.0, 2.0&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

      &lt;Fader&gt;

         &lt;Name&gt;FLAG_SCALE&lt;/Name&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;700.0,  0.6&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;1500.0, 0.7&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;3000.0, 0.9&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;3700.0, 0.7&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;7300.0, 0.9&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;13000.0, 1.2&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

      &lt;Fader&gt;

         &lt;Name&gt;CITYBILLBOARD_SCALE&lt;/Name&gt;

         &lt;!-- changes the size of the billboards based on the camera distance --&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;700,    1.5&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;2500,   1.0&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;6000,   0.67&lt;/Key&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;1700,    1.5&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;3700,   1.0&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;15000,   0.67&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

      &lt;Fader&gt;

         &lt;Name&gt;SYMBOL_SCALE&lt;/Name&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;Key&gt;700.0,  1.1&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;1800.0, 1.6&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;5000.0, 2.8&lt;/Key&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;1700.0,  1.1&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;4400.0, 1.6&lt;/Key&gt;

         &lt;Key&gt;13000.0, 2.8&lt;/Key&gt;

      &lt;/Fader&gt;

Filename: GlobalDefines.xml
Location: ~Sid Meier's Civilization 4Beyond the SwordAssetsXML

Code:

      &lt;Define&gt;

         &lt;DefineName&gt;CAMERA_CITY_ZOOM_IN_DISTANCE&lt;/DefineName&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;3500&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;9000&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;

      &lt;/Define&gt;

      &lt;Define&gt;

         &lt;DefineName&gt;CAMERA_BATTLE_ZOOM_IN_DISTANCE&lt;/DefineName&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;900&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;2200&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;

      &lt;/Define&gt;

      &lt;Define&gt;

         &lt;DefineName&gt;CAMERA_SHRINE_ZOOM_IN_DISTANCE&lt;/DefineName&gt;

   &lt;!--      &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;900&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;--&gt;

         &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;2200&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;

      &lt;/Define&gt;

Step 3: Edit Fall from Heaven files.
This step is optional, of course. If you don't have Fall from Heaven you won't find much need for this.

Filename: GlobalDefinesAlt.xml
Location: ~Sid Meier's Civilization 4Beyond the SwordModsFall from Heaven 2 031AssetsXML

Code:

       &lt;Define&gt;

           &lt;DefineName&gt;CAMERA_CITY_ZOOM_IN_DISTANCE&lt;/DefineName&gt;

   &lt;!--        &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;4250&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt; --&gt;

           &lt;fDefineFloatVal&gt;11000&lt;/fDefineFloatVal&gt;

       &lt;/Define&gt;
