Let me first say I really like this game .But having trouble seeing things like rail lines the numbers on the units
the flags of there country and so on .Even when I mouse on a hex it does not show that there is a rail there.that would be
a help .so I guess my question is.Is there anyway to in large any of this .The old Sargents eyes are not what they use to be
thank you

Even with good eyes, I can still thread a needle, sometimes its difficult to discern specifics.

Had cataracts removed 20 years ago, the doctor must have put in good lenses, or it is my monitor which is a 7 year old Dell 2309W using 1152x864 resolution, the picture is sharp and clear and have no trouble seeing roads, railways, little white numbers on units etc. could not be happier, and these are not young eyes [:(]

My overall impress is that everything is for people with good eyes.
Something you start to realize once you find out that even the mole on the hill next to you has better eyesight than yourself.

"Moles are not blind, as most people believe. They do have eyes and internal ears, but these are very small to prevent them being clogged up and damaged during tunnelling. Although they can see, the mole's eyesight is poor, with no ability to detect colours, just light from dark and movement."

Please Mr. Xwormwood do not tell me the mole on the hill has better eyes than you, [:(] the quote from above is from an animal pamphlet informing the readers about moles eyes.

My uncle once said "I lost all my hair, all my teeth are gone, I need bifocals but still can't see, have a hearing aid but still don't hear well, I am no better than a worm in the garden, oh well! [:@]

Can it be played in Window Mode? If so you can go into control panel and launch the handicap program to turn on a magnifier you can place at the top of a window and resize the window so it doesn't interfere with the game. I use it all the time for several games now. I have to shrink the window about an inch ana quarter maybe but at least I can see what I'm doing and read the ridiculous small font developers are putting into games nowadays.

Yes thank you I was able to change it through windows so now I play it 1280x762 so I can read everything now. Big difference

I agree with the OP. It's very hard te read some numbers. Even terrain features, like rivers, are hard to see without further zoom.

it was an issue which was brought up, and for me still a valid point, with any counter type game, add it too much detail onto a counter, and then you make it harder for some to use and see, one more zoom level maybe would do it for me, to be perfect that is

changing the resolution to a lower one will enlarge the details

may want to try the display changer
