It's a 9/10 upgrade. The game was always about the "big picture," and widescreen finally lets you see it.
In 4:3, exploring the map was tedious. You constantly scrolled to see the enemy’s gold mine. In 16:9, on a peninsula map, you can often see your entire shoreline and the enemy’s adjacent beach simultaneously. Defensive strategies become more proactive because you see threats earlier. settlers 3 widescreen
