Thanks, not really what i wanted to read but anyway.
Will buy it just to congratulate the developper for his amazing work and the widsom of not waiting to do the AI. [&o]
The good news is that with the time it took to finish the game, my son could start to play it. [:D]
I'm just trying to find a way to introduce it to CWIF.[&:]
- What is the screen resolution required to play? Will it be possible to play on a tablet PC?
1024 by 768 pixels - but the game wants all of it. For instance, if you have the Windows task bar Always On Top, then you will need to set it to Hidden.

The resolution mentioned above, is that the minimun that can be used? I'm using 1920x1080. Is that going to be supported?
Thanks.

That is my screen resolution. So the answer to your second question is yes.

There is a lot of code devoted expressly to letting players modify where the various forms are located on the screen as well as the size and position of the detailed map. These are known as Screen Layouts in MWIF and each player can design his own.
The program creates default/starting screen layouts when you first start the game and you can modify them to create s new default screen layout. There are defaults defined for the smallest supported monitor, 1024 by 768, and the other common monitor sizes: 1280 by 1024 and 1920 by 1080. The program makes an educated guess when defining default screen layouts for other monitor sizes. There are also defaults for two monitor systems.
EDIT: Section 8.6 of the Players Manual describes this in detail, with screenshots of various layouts.

As a former Beta Tester, it certainly looks nice on a 30" 2560x1600 resolution screen.

If the game were to allow you to save the game during the impulse.
You could email the saved files to other players so they could make their moves.
