SP with better Graphics?

I second Imp. The only thing that makes me think of graphics update is the size of fonts and encyclopaedia in high resolution mode.

Yes, in a future patch the display size option should be divided in two size options: One resolution for the battle screen (1028x1024 for me), and one for all the others (purchase, encyclopedia, etc; 640x480 for me).

I agree with eriss.

I don´t know if different resolutions for menus is the solution, or a redesigned interface for higher resolutions.

I like the graphics as they are.
The thinks to do. My ideas.

-Higher menus and interface (encyclopaedia, editors, scenarios etc...)They are tiny and hard to read.

-Something MUST be done with the minimap. I can (now) live without the menus in full screen. But the minimap is something make me leave the game for months, damages playability.
The maps in this game are bigger than other versions, but the minimap is useless. Hard to see dots (colours) and tiny square showing only a part of the battlefield if the map is big.
The idea should be adding an external full screen map? and make the actual minimap as generic approach with different dot colours?


I would change the Artillery model, I dont like it. I didnt like it in 1997.

But that is another question.

I think that is the most important things the game needs. No 3d, no new engine unless that simple thinks to do are impossible due to the engine limitations.

Not much need for a mini-map change IMO.

Better to use the zoom feature.

Zoom out to get a general view of battlefield,click on a unit in a specific area of action, zoom in,repeat as needed.

ID tags can be turned on and off also.

To gila:

Of course.
And smaller screen resolutions the solution to small fonts.

The minimap functionality is easily replaced by the maximum zoomed out view.
I was lately playing few desert scenarios with big maps and I was switching between the maximum zoomed out view and the standard one (for me it is almost maximum zoomed in). It takes about 3 steps each way.
Maybe the small minimap issue can be solved by a key that switches the view between all-zoomed-out and current magnification back and forth?
