Broadsword: Age of Chivalry

"Broadsword: Age of Chivalry boasts turn-based strategy gameplay as players move from mission to mission in the Middle Ages. Command one of four different armies: the English, The French, the Spanish, or the Hapsburgs in this exciting PC game. Lead different types of units into battle -- from archers, knights, pikemen and catapults with special units per nationality. Control special 'heroes' units such as Henry III, Joan of Arc and El Cid, among others whose special 'hero' powers can affect the entire battlefield. Set in medieval Europe. The game features four playable factions, a single player campaign, strategic gameplay, asynchronous multiplayer matches, and cinematic battle sequences." - Steam store page

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Only 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions are listed in the launcher. Other aspect ratios can be forced in the Steam launch options or EXE shortcut properties: -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1080 (replace with your resolution).

Fullscreen mode is a type of borderless output, so the intended resolution must be used as the desktop resolution as well.

Campaign mission backgrounds are stretched between aspect ratios. Everything else works correctly.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Force the resolution in the Steam launch options or EXE shortcut properties: -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1080 (replace with your resolution).

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

Force the resolution in the Steam launch options or EXE shortcut properties: -screen-width 5760 -screen-height 1080 (replace with your resolution).

The main interface elements for controlling units and construction are at opposite edges of the screen.

The end of the world may be visible when zoomed out at the far edge of the map in the overhead view (see additional screenshots). Viewing this area does not seem to cause any problems, so this is a harmless visual issue.
