Newb with two basic questions

[Chelifer]

The resolution 1280x1024 has an odd aspect ratio 5:4, not the usual 4:3 (like 1024x768, 1280x960).

It is annoying me too, since I got a 1280x1024 TFT. The most important point is that the game stretches the screen vertically to fit the 4:3 picture to my 5:4 screen.

I made the change to 1280x1024... Nice enough, but the game seems to be slower now, well that was expected. But another oddity is the images of the buildings in the constructions, they are now rather low quality as are some faces. I guess I will change to the 1280x960, for those buildings and images are really messing up the feeling here.
