nope. But you can pick any screen resolution you want equal or above to 1024x768

How does one set screen resolution?
It isn't documented in the manual, nor in any of the readmes, nor can I find an icon within the game.

The game will atuo size to full screen at what ever your screen resolution is... as long as it's at or above 1024x768.
You don't actually change the resolution of the game manually.

I have a new 22 in widescreen (16:10) monitor.
AT is "stretched" in this resolution.
Is there any way to set the resolution to a 4:3 aspect (say, 1600:1200), with black bars on the side, so it does not appear "stretched"?

Hi Paplan,

Your screen is NOT stretched. It is the way it should be. The map just takes a larger portion of a screen so you can see more hexes. (because it is so wide)

All graphics ratio's are OK!

kind regards,
Vic

So the hexagons are not supposed to be perfect hexagons--the horizontal sides are supposed to be longer than the other 4 sides?

Yes the hexagons are 64x48. Measured as squares they are 56x48. They are slightly wider then they are high.

If 1024 x 768 is the minimum screen size supported, I'm guessing ATWW2 might have problems running on the new netbooks with 1024 x 600 screens? Is there anything that can be done, configuration wise, to make the game playable on a slightly smaller screen heightwise?
