Which monitor version do you TATW and especially MOS players use?

[Hero of the West]

Hi guys, i'm currently working on artwork for MOS. Just recently i bought a widescreen monitor and it seems that all artwork is being stretched by medieval II. This made me wonder how all you guys ever saw the artwork created by me. Because normally i made it for a non-widescreen monitor.

In order to give optimal work i would like to know what kind of monitors you guys use?


@ Ngugi, it is not entirely TATW related, but well this the crowd i need to care about sort of speak.

I actually use a TV and not a monitor but it is a widescreen tv so I voted Widescreen. I have had no issues with MOS though in that department.

I use a wide screen for many years now 1920 x 1200 and never noticed any oddities. Perhaps I just gotten used to it.

But just to be sure, you did change the resolution in the game settings and checked the the wide screen option?

As far as I know, MTW2 UI is locked at the max resolution of 1366x768. When you change the resolution in the settings to more than that, it only changes the actual campaign/battle map.

1680 x 1050 here, never had any issues with MOS

I almost always played TATW with a widescreen monitor, the battle map isn't odd, though the icons, UI are somewhat stretched. You can especially notice it on the campaign map. My resolution is 1080p. I do not have played MOS though

@ Vet, you also noticed it when you said that the hobbits looked fatter xD

I have the same issue. Really annoying when you try to make uniform unit cards and the old ones are from a smaller screen. Some icons become so blurry that it's sad, they look splendid in Gimp and then...like paint soaked up by too much canvas, now that we're mentioning hobbits.

Yup, I noticed that. But I thought not much of it, since you had worked on the picture.
There is some difference I believe, very likely for the reason Bercor gave.

On my monitor it's not so obvious but still noticeable. This is because I have a 1920x1200 native resolution instead of the much more common 1920x1080 one.

I always take my screenshots on 1920x1200 (changed the setting in the TATW.cfg) and that usually works well. However what I suspect are round objects or square ones in the UI screens seem a bit oval or rectangular.
I assume that effect will be more pronounced on a height setting of 1080.

However if I take a screenshot on the default setting, everything seems slimmed down more than is intended. Especially noticeable in the unit cards.

DID use widescreen till my PC...blew up....laptop ahoy with inferior resolutions

Widescreen 1920x 1080. Everything works fine, and looks good in my opinion.
