Status: offline 		Just started played..Love the graphics..options and gameplay look great. And im really looking forward to playign agasint some others. If if i had a wish list of two tweaks it would be

Option

1. Adjust the scroll speed of Map.
2. Perhaps one more zoom in level i find its hard to see the strength numbers and ive got to have a real good look on whats around where if i could zoom in one more step i could get a easier to see picture of whats what

Nothing major as nothing is perfect...But just my thoughts

One option if you'd like it to be a bit faster is to go to Options->Advanced and to adjust the number of scrolls before the map text hides setting. I believe the default is set to 30 and lowering it to 10 or less will speed up scrolling.

And it slows it down a bit also.

Not a biggie but I do prefer using 3D counters.

I too am having trouble seeing the strength numbers etc on the 3d counters and had no issues in SOE. I don't think the zoom level really needs upping as much as the numbers need to be larger.

Playing 27" at 2560x1440 here and 27" at 1920x1080.
Both are clear to me. I still have perfect vision though.

Not only reports. Also some interface info like weather info(see other topic).

I believe it's forced to "Windowed full screen" mode.
Perhaps Hubert can elaborate on the reason for this.

This is what I am using and zoom is ok, but on a smaller monitor I could see it being a bit small for some people.

AstroCat, you mean you are using a big monitor, I assume, such as 27" or so. Yes, other people made similar remarks, with a big monitor you get good visual. But if you are using any kind of normal monitor, even closest zoom is too small...

Speaking of visuals, the pity of the zoom levels is that the game looks really fantastic, the 3D counters are simply beautiful (congratulations to Jean-Vincent, Marta and Christian!!). But unless one uses a 27' monitor... Me, I have to get quite close to the monitor to appreciate the 3D counters (or read the small-print numbers...).

Perhaps we could have in-game screen resolution settings? But certainly, another zoom level would be terrific. Anyway, sorry for the (minor) quibbles, and congratulations to everybody at Fury Software and specially Hubert Cater, this is a really amazing game in every sense. I haven't enjoyed a game like this so much since playing Avalon Hill's "Third Reich" as a kid.
