In any normal reality I would snap it up but "She Who Must Be Obeyed" decided we need a house as all my games and junk I aquired over 9 months convelescing are starting to make the present living quarters unsafe for humans,not gamers(her words, not mine)So now our cash assets are going for stupid "real life " house costs and not games....Thanks a lot !


On a positive note(sort of), I need my gall bladder removed and have some more surgery on my elbow/hand(last surgery didnt hold) so I can "convelesce" some more...hehehe!

Will just keep playing Op Barb and wait for WITE. Very excited about the latter.

I'm about the same here. I wish the resolution had more options than just 1024x768. However I am waiting for WiF.

For example introducing of multi resolution support in “Time of Wrath” required 4 months of exclusive work of one programmer....

Status: offline 		that was a old Icon mod, somebody made the HQ's that way, with out knowing that the HQ Icon was used by both sides (he was a LW Fanboy)

that is one of my old copies of the game, I liked some of the other Icons, so I kept it

And I'm really glad that Wastelands decided it was worth the effort to do so. So glad, in fact, that I purchased the game. I probably wouldn't have purchased ToW had it been offered only in 1024x768.

Please express my thanks to whomever made the decisions to dedicate the resources to making multi-resolution a reality, and to the programmer who did the work. The ToW map at 1650x1080 is a glorious thing!
