    Default image quality of building?

    Hello, i'm quite new to XGM, but when I saw this I thought..



    is this real, or just my computer?

    That just seems to be XGM. But the mod is so brilliant you overlook it, and you realise the work put into it and you forgive it.
    Meh.

    Yeah a lot of RTW graphics look a bit blocky if you're playing with a larger screen. The game is showing its age a bit.

    Still it's much better than the white screens that many of the more graphically advanced mods *cough*RSII*cough* have problems with.

    Those problems probably result from too many high resolution pics.

    What size monitor are you on? My graphics look fine and I'm on a 19"...are you using your TV?

    Well, half joking. If it's an oldschool tube TV, I can totally see it being that stretched out on a big one. On the other hand, good luck finding an oldschool tube TV that you can hook a monitor up to.

    Me and my fiancee have been hooking up her laptop to our 32" LCD TV to watch Netflix when we're too impatient for the mail and man...it's so crisp I'm damn near tempted to switch to using the TV myself for Rome. Would be a pain in the ass to get a laptop just for that though, since the alternative is to get a monitor cable to stretch from my comp to the TV which would need to be the size of California.

    It's awesome dude. Just try it if you can. TW on TV is extremely interesting since TV is far better (and lighter) compare to computer's screen

    I tried it before with XGM,SS 6.3 and Startcraft 2. It's !!

    That good eh? Hmm...you have me thinking about it now. I need to get a new laptop anyway since my old one died and outside that all I'd really need is a wireless keyboard (maybe) and I already have a wireless mouse...

    Lighter?
    You mean TV screen can run games more effectively than a computer monitor?
    coz it's the machine itself not the display used but maybe you can enlighten me if i'm missing something.

    Image quality is a complicated thing. The contrast ratio, luminosity, and reflectivity of the screen can all make a big difference to what the image looks like in a room with significant ambient light. I don't know whether TVs generally handle ambient light better than monitors, but energy efficient screens tend to do worse because they have lower luminosity; the intensity of light output is lower so the image stands out less in a room that already has significant ambient light.

    I tried playing
    RTW
    (
    vanilla
    ) and I was amazed at the sheer awesome as I saw my troops march (Highest detail on everything) and the music blaring out of my surround sound and everything.

    it was so awesome that my laptop broke a few weeks after.
    I'M BAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKK!
