help with horizontal camera view

I'm new at this and I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this. As in the attachment, I want to know how to set my camera so that I can view a large area of the horizon, and the sky behind. I've tryed some things out, but I can't get the desired view. The aim is that I would be able to move a character outward, and keep seeing the horizon like this. Any help is appreciated, and will be awarded with some points :P

I don't really get your point, you want a unit to keep running away from the view, but still keep seing the horizon??

O just ignore that. Basically camera adjustment, so that I can see the whole character and straight in the background, almost like World of Warcraft, because as of now the default camera is set to seeing the ground on an angle, so I can't see the sky ahead of me. I'm gonna try it out abit, but if anyone knows how to get that exact camera in the screenshot, then please post.

Prob with WCIII is the skybox.

If you set the view to truely horizontal, you get the sky cutting into the terrain. There is no way to avoid this. So for what you want to do to really look good, just can't be done. Sorry.

you mean just hown to set the camera at an angle like that? that use control and right-click drag to put the camera where you want it. then, if you like the angle but want it a little higher, go into camera options and raise the z-offset.
