Optimal screen resolution?

Post by Caesar_Augustus »

I was just wondering... Is there a recommended computer screen resolution for WiF?
What I mean is that I realize the game can be played on modern high resolution screens
(1280x800, 1440x900 and upwards),
but may an adjusted lower resolution, like 1024x768, be more suitable?

Thanks!

The larger the screen and the higher the resolution you can get makes for better presentations.

If I play at 1024x768 on my 23 inch monitor I lose the bottom line on some screens, mostly combat screens where I cannot see the okay button, so I play at 1152x864 which is very comfortable for me.

So I suspected [:D], but thought to ask the question anyway because I remember reading elsewhere about someone playing purposely at a lower 1024x768 resolution,
and wondered, given the game's interface, if that were preferred. It seems then that the optimal screen resolution is the native screen resolution of your monitor.
