      That's a good point for any "notebook and TFT flat monitor" player.
      As anyone know TFT screens are usually built to display better a single resolution (e.g. 1024*768 or 1600*1200).

      Any other resolution will be interpolated, hence showed with less clarity, jagged definition, etc.

      Can Civ III work nicely in any resolution upper the minimum required? I'm afraid not...

        I agree with you. A clean desk as in Civ III screenshots seems good, but only a real interaction with the game will prove any interface good or wrong.

        TBS have a great advantage over RTS: a quick access to any command is not always needed.

          I like what I'm seeing in the screenshots also. I thought the CTP2 interface was pretty good, but it could turn into a clickfest. Civ3 looks fairly smooth.

          Yea, but FIRAXIS always make look good no matter if it is windowed or not!!!

            the newer laptops will 'smooth over' alternate resolutions so the jaggedness will go away. but before i got my current laptop with its ultra xga screen i played on my desktop at home at 16x12. i just like seeing the 'whole world' at once lots of scrolling around always bugged me.

              yes it looks nice...but does it still maintain custom keyboard shortcuts? or eve just keyboard short cuts. if not, then the i dont care what kind the interface looks like, it would suck.

              so, let me pose a question to Firaxis:
              Whats the deal with the keyboard shortcuts in relation to the GUI and movement? i.e. are there any keyboard shortcuts, and if so, are they customizable? (awww come on firaxis...i already pre-ordered LE...its a good question too! )
