Oh well, back to the DOS version >even if the graphics are crappy by todays standards. Too small? That's actually suprising. With RTS games in style of C&C, I'm finding that the camera is too close to the action, especially when there are only two indications about what is going on - the main screen and the minimap. As a result, I almost always try to play with the largest view of the map. However, I do find that as the resolution increases, the minimap becomes very difficult to see. It took the developers long enough to actually fix that problem.
