MacroBinoculars is a technology that can be researched at the Troop Center in Tech Level 2. It costs 75 Food, and gives all Troop Center units +1 Line of Sight. In addition, all Troop Center units, except the Mounted Trooper and its upgrades, get +1 range. This technology must be researched before Portable Scanners becomes available.
MacroBinoculars is a cheap technology that will grant the player's units extra range, which can be very useful in combat. As such, it should be researched early.
"This Tech Level 2 technology grants all your Troopers increased line of sight."

Clone Campaigns changes[]
In the original Galactic Battlegrounds, this technology did not give Mounted Troopers increased Line of Sight. This was changed in the expansion.
The upgrade icon is based on a deleted scene from A New Hope where Luke Skywalker used MacroBinoculars to observe the space battle unfolding above Tatooine.
