Seven Years War: Releases End of October

Whatever. I was just thinking of poor, dear Asid.

Thanks  :-*

This is a good dev. He seems to listen and is trying hard to make the game the best it can be.

^Absolutely. The above is also extremely out of character for amandachen.

...so time is running out on the Steam sale and I have yet to buy anything!  I have been keeping an eye on this one.  Has the font/screen readability increased significantly?  I've already got enough games that I have trouble reading the fonts (yeah, looking at you Ageod, etc).  I may still risk picking this one up what with Steams current refund policy, but inquiring minds want to know.  Thx...

I struggled to read anything at first. It is significantly better now. The tooltips do require a little squinting, by me anyway. However the dev knows about this...Especially after I put it quite simply that I could not read most of the text.

Hope this helps

I think for the most part the screens are very readable now, but might depend on your screen size and resolution...I am on a 39inch monitor, using 1920x1080 and things look fine, except for one area.  There is an area for country comparisons for various things, the font is still a little small, but more importantly it has some kind of graphic gauge where the color seems to overwrite the actual text on it.

If I were you and your only concern was the text, I would recommend purchasing, the developer has shown he is willing to improve things and if you don't like it, you always an refund your money.  I still haven't played the game much so can't really answer any questions on gameplay yet.

I made a video showcasing a battle. Check it out in the video thread. The font has increased and is much more readable

[magnus]

Any chance of some more battles?

[keppelmueller]

yes, extensions in terms of more historical battles are planned but before i would like to add more quality to the game (sprites, mouse control)

Kudos Keppelmueller! That's is absolutely the right approach. Improve the base release until you are happy with it and then focus on expansions or DLC.
