'''Notes'''
 +
{{ii}} The minimum resolution is 1024 x 768. The game won't accept any resolution lower than that.
 +
{{ii}} When the resolution on the X axis is lower than 1280, the game shrinks the size of game world graphics according to the X axis, not unlike "Vert-".
 +
{{ii}} When the resolution on the X axis is 1280 or higher, the game world graphics no longer change size. The game functions like any "pixel based" games. At maximum zoom, the game graphics now are the same size as their original assets (the TGA files in the "art" folder).
 +
 
 +
1) Navigate to <code>%AppData%\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations</code>
 +
 
 +
2) Find and change the following rise2.ini line
 +
Code:
 +
<code>AllowAllResolutions=0</code> to <code>AllowAllResolutions=1</code>
 +
 
 +
3)The game will allow the player to choose whatever resolution is supported by the monitor.
 +
 
 +
4)* If the drop-down box does not show your preferred resolution, edit the <code>Windowed Width</code> and <code>Windowed Height=</code> lines in <code>rise2.ini</code>.
