since there is a discussion how much impact your screen has to the game, here are some screens i made for another forum - Screen is always centered to building / unit that is selected 16: 9 (1920x1050) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/561/screenshotvi.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5585/screenshot000e.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8121/screenshot001bn.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7532/screenshot002rn.jpg) 16:10 (1680x1050) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7859/screenshot003t.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5658/screenshot005pk.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/9849/screenshot004bj.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8676/screenshot006mx.jpg) 4:3 (1024x768) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3231/screenshot007i.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4535/screenshot009t.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8625/screenshot008j.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9085/screenshot010t.jpg) | ||

Anyways, once I get my hands on that game I'll play it with maximum zoom (except for early game and important micro situations I guess). By the way, is there a way to switch between 2 zoom/direction settings? I guess not since there is no F2-4 either... | ||

tan(FovX/2)*tan(FovY/2)=const which basically makes what you see equal for all aspect ratios. So the widescreens show more on the side, and 4:3 shows more vertically. Probably the reason for it becoming wider, but not narrower on widescreen is that the default function for creating a Perspective Projection matrix takes the angle for the Y opening and an aspect ratio. So they did something like "Perspective( 50deg , Width/Height , near , far)" | ||

There is actually also a quite difference between 16: 9 and 16: 10 if you ask me. | ||

So they did something like "Perspective( 50deg , Width/Height , near , far)" definitely agree that they should keep some sort of constant area viewable, whether it is widescreen or not. thus u would choose between more vertical or more widt, instead of giving total advantage to the wide. | ||
