Hi,
does anyone now how to optimze Medieval II for Triplehead2go I can play the game at 1440 x 900 but the game looks stretched?

if it's not in the sgu then u need someone to make a patch for it :(

new empire total war will beout soon :)

Yeah, and I'll be crying when it's out, because like all the other Total War games there will be no Th2Go support and not enough interest to even warrant a fix by dopefish or racer_s (although even if there was, I'm pretty sure the UI would be completely unusable).

It's a crying shame strategy games don't support multi-monitors, just look at what Supreme Commander did with 2.. and that was just scratching the possibilities. I'm not talking about more FOV here, but being able to multi-task in different spots simultaneously based on how many monitors you have.

I totally agree. I wonder why Medieval II doesn't warrant some attention from the modders?

It's my understanding that the game sold extremely well. And it triplehead, it would be totally incredible.

Like you said - very disappointing. :(

I don't think the UI is very moddable at all, the most I've seen changed is the skins for them. If it weren't so, then we'd have a slew of UI mods already since the UI currently sucks for people with high resolutions, taking up half the screen for having 1 window open is pointless.

I would really like to bump this thread. Just now re-installed the game in anticipation of Empire, and absolutely concur that the battles would be fantastic @ surround resolutions.
Is there really now way to change the FoV? I can live with the stretched HUD, although changing that would be sweet to.
Come on, I would actually pay in order to be able to play this @ 3840x1024! :!:

Yep, same here.. I would gladly pay like $50 for someone to support the Total War games. I basically play it a few times and then I get annoyed by only using 1 monitor and go back to FPSes :(.

I'm in on this vote too! 8)

I'd say the best thing you can do right now is get on the official forums and lobby the developers for surround support. Post some screenshots and links to Surround games and tell them how awesome it would be for Empire to span 3 screens. Check my sig for before/after shots of BFMEII in surround. Also:

Right,

I just went ahead and opened a thread on what I understand to be the most prolifically visited forum for Empire TW.

Please be so kind and add a post asking for the implementation of surround gaming resolutions for Empire TW. I'm sure that with enough attention, CA might still go ahead and make it happen!
