Thanks 8-)

That's a very good idea I think. Actually, I was just about to release
5.5.7 (which mostly contains bug-fixes for now) and I'm thinking that
your idea might go in this release. It's not very long to implement
IMHO, and I like the idea. It's true that these small maps now look
obsolete since they were designed for use on 486 33Mhz computers, and
increasing their resolution while keeping the ability to play then in
low res should make everyone happy. Thanks for the suggestion.

To sum it up: I'm not 100% sure this feature will be present in 5.5.7,
but you can be sure it will be implemented some day.

Have a nice day.

Christian.

PS: I've send a copy of this mail to the Liquid War mailing list.
