I can't seem to find any link to the version 2 of the resolution changer? On the Evil Genius page or anywhere else for that matter. My mind boggles.

Also - What on earth is up with the humongous letters a few posts up?

So he did! the forum (is as usual) messing up the page counts - heck it took my a reload of the site to see your last three comments at all...

Either way - Whoo!

Doubtful - Given how hard it has been for GOG to even get two of four games on their store, I doubt it. The rights holders are a stubborn and greedy bunch.

It'd be much easier to just develop a new franchise from scratch.

Pharaoh and Zeus uses the GOG (Good old Games) releases, which have had their copy protection removed and have the latest official patch. (So yeah that'd be 1.10) As for emperor, I believe (hope really) that an unofficial copy protection removed executable is used as I don't have a DVD drive anymore...

They do actually - a compressed archive with an executable for each resolution.

It's normal It "should" be possible to fix if Jackfuste revisits the pharaoh/zeus fixes at some point. But it really isn't a critical issue - the game just isn't built to stretch out like that as you can easily tell from the "world" map and the mission screens. But it beats having to play the game a...

Here's a funny idea - go post on the official forums and explain to them how easy it would be to fix.

Running parallel development seems... stupid to be honest.

Works like a charm - only a slight graphical glitch in the main menu as a side effect, which doesn't affect the buttons in the slightest as far as I can tell.

I can second the stretching at 1920x1200 - It's never something I've noticed until now though.

The yellow crates are ~ 150px wide compared to a height of 110px in a test screenshot I took.

You could try getting in contact with Tom who's done a bit of updating for the game since Muckyfoot went belly up. He might have some insights as to whether it stretches, when and possible ways to get around this.

Instead of a black background, I found a way to draw textures.

That's cool. Really gives it a nice finish. :)

Wow! Pharaoh, Cleopatra AND Zeus all in glorious 1920x1200? I am speechless. The game looks so amazing even today.

Is there any chance you hex wizards could conjure up one for Emperor as well? I can send you the 1.01 executable if you'd like to (and I'm allowed - forum rules and all that)

:D
