24 (62%) votes for 1024x768
11 (28%) votes for 1280x1024
1 (3%) vote for 1600x1200

There were 36 posts in the discussion.

The most common sentence was "Heroes V ought to look well in any resolution between 800x600 and 1600x1200, and the contents of the screen should not depend on the resolution like in Heroes 4. The difference should be only the detail level".

Below you can find a few interesting quotes for various options:

-----

640x480:

none

-----

800x600

- The game should work on machines not bought for high-end action games.

-----

1024x768
- This is what I currently have. I do not want to upgrade my comp because of Heroes V.
- Enough. I do not want to see ants on my screen.
- This is OK for 15 inches displays, and there are a lot of them still.
- This is enough. No "fireworks" please!
- It should work on all machines of the times of the release.
- OK for a strategic game.

-----

1280x1024

- By the time Heroes 5 is out this will not be too much.
- I like details!
- I think 17 inches is the future - either LCD or bulbs. And for them 1280 is good.

-----

1600x1200

none
