Near Sighted Warrior Here

Post by GreyWolf16 »

So I was all set to go ahead and buy this game but at 63 years old and with poor eyesight I'm concerned about the complaints of some about hard to read fonts. I do wish there was some sort of demo so that I can try (too see) before I buy.
1 - can someone post a screen shot of the screens that are difficult to see so that I can try it?
2 - does anyone know if the font issues might be addressed by the developer?

Much thanks.

The only thing I have trouble seeing easily are the numbers underneath the unit icons. Which are very important numbers, by the way.

And, my 51 year old eyesight is not great, but not horrible yet.

I hope the developers add an option to increase the font size of the unit stats underneath the map icons. They are horribly small, especially on 1920x1200 resolution.

My eyesight too is not the best either. But I would say that the makers have done a good job with the font size here. I have said elsewhere that they could do with one more Zoom level for really close up views, but is manageable without.

Yes. Just right click on a unit and look under properties which upgrades it has received.

@ warspite: +1 to an additional zoom level.

The unit numbers can be modified.
