	change UI? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

ctp 2 has a horrible UI it takes up os much screen space and most of it not used, are there alternate ones out there? the civ3 UI was decent....

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

In terms of ease to handle, the Civ3 interface is better, or should I say, more conveniant. In terms of available information, the CtP2 interface is better. Look alone at the numerous crosslinks, i.e. to the secret service. I wish Civ3 had those.

If you are short of screen size, you can do 2 things:

- hide the minimap
- raise the resolution.

The second is the better way, although unfortunately the game doesn't support resolutions like 1280x1024 (which is pretty much standard today), but weird looking and thus almost unusable resolutions like 1280x768. I hope the source code effort can address this.

It doesn't. Then I wonder why I have this resolution on the list it is exactly 1280x1024 I also have 1280x960 which I use. I can also select 1600x1200.

	Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Or memorise the hot keys, and use / to hide all the UI.

Yea, stupid me , I had overlooked the scrollbar. 1280x1024 works now well.
