Widescreen Gaming Forum

Strategy games don't really get as much benefit from simply increasing FOV.. SupCom2 went the right route by allowing you to use a second monitor as a completely different camera.

Still, if they would just not make the UI stretch (like scale+dock it would be good) that alone would be a step in the right direction. The game's impossible to play when one text box is stretched across 1 and a half monitors.

By the way, you know there's an official Total War forum right? The twcenter one ain't it.

Well I looked on the official TW page, and couldn't find a forum specifically for Empire. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Really? Maybe it's just a matter of preference, but from what I've seen and played, RTS games benefit tremendously from 3x FOV.

Except it's not 3x FOV, you'll be lucky to get 40% more because of the way the camera angles are calculated.

In most modern RTSes you can always zoom out more if you want to see more, so more FOV is pretty moot anyway.

They did redesign the official site to be Flash now so I guess their new site is more confusing (the link to the forums is oddly absent from the "Empire" subsite but it is on the "Total War" subsite).

http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/forums/114/t/Empire-Total-War.html - the official forums, Empire subforum.

(the way I got it was by going to http://www.totalwar.com/?lang=us then click Community and Forums, then Forum then Empire Total War).

I stopped playing MTW2 because of this, too bad because it would look great in TH res.

Hi,
