Topic: Technical Issues / technische Verbesserungen

• Menu items must be enlarged. The command to attack does not show which upgrades the soldier has at a distance of 0.5 m from the screen. In addition, the button for attacking is very small, so that often requires you to grumble with the mouse. Suggestion: Quadruple the width and length (4x)!

• You have to somehow be able to set the training camp up to which level the units are trained. It is tedious, especially in longer games, to send soldiers away again and again and to click through by hand the appropriate soldier who fits the desired level of training.

• Menüpunkte müssen vergrößert werden. Man sieht beim Angriffsbefehl nicht auf 0,5 m Entfernung zum Bildschirm welche Upgrades der jeweilige Soldat hat. Außerdem ist der Button für Angreifen viel zhu klein, so dass das oft ein gepfrimel mit der Maus erfordert. Vorschlag: Breite und Länge jeweils vervierfachen (4x)!

• Man muss irgendwie beim Ausbildungslager einstellen können, bis zu welcher Stufe jeweils die Einheiten trainiert werden. Es ist mühselig besonders in längeren Spielen, immer wieder Soldaten wegzuschicken und per Hand den entsprechenden Soldaten durchzuklicken, der zur gewünschten Ausbildungsstufe passt.

Sometimes I play on 4K, sometimes on HD.

I think we can really forget resolution like 720p and lower, since no one really plays on them. Zoom feature works very nice, problem: the textures are not so clear anymore when you zoom and main problem is the window when you try to attack an building, this must be a lot larger (especially on 4k)

I usually play at 960×600 resolution, where I would prefer it if the windows and buttons were a bit smaller so I can see the map properly. IMHO it should be possible to define a scaling factor in the options that can scale up as well as down.

Oh I don't think so.

Aren't the screens of tablets rather small? Widelands could theoretically be played on a tablet.

Well, soldiers leave the trainingssite sooner or later when they are not completely trained and when there are no further wares. So is this option really necessary?

Regarding small resolutions. I sometimes play Widelands in Window-Mode 800×600 in there fore even these small resolutions need to be considered IMHO.

Thats fully understandable, but why should we play today on 600p, if there is HD? I mean its everyones own decision ... but hey, today even smartphones have HD.
