Larger Fonts

Post by eddieballgame »

First, what a beautiful game.
For those that would like a little larger readable font, I have edited the original 'font file' as follows.
Btw, yes there is in-game UI Scaling...but not enough for me. :)
The zipped file includes 4 minimum sizes per the text; 14, 16, 18, & 20.
Simply replace the original (backed up in the zip) font file in the main directory/System folder with one of the unzipped font files.
Experiment to see what works for you; 20 on 'UI Scaling - None' works for me.

Here is an even better/easier solution, courtesy of 'PipFromSlitherine'; thank you Pip.

It looks like the in-game options only tweak the font sizes up by 25% at most, but you can alter them by hand in the options file.

Just open OPTIONS.TXT in

Documents/My Games/EmpiresKingdoms

and then find the lines

GlobalUIScale
GlobalFontScale

You can then change the values to do global changes of the font and (some) UI sizes.
Values of 2000 make things VERY large, and make the UI look ugly, but 1500 (e.g.) might be a considerable help.
Save the file and run the game to see the results.

This could be something you could try if you don't want to change the install files.

Cheers, Pip

The in game options are (obviously in my mind) tailored to offer best compatibility will providing some extra comfort

The 'Low' option increases Font by 15% and UI by 10%
The 'High' option increases Font by 25% and UI by 20%
