Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
When playing on a screen with 21:9 aspect ratio the scale slider has a minimum value that is far from being perfect.
When using the mimimum value on 16:9 with full screen I can see the map + my personal stuff.
When using the minimum value on 21:9 I cannot even see the full map. To see the full map or more I need to make the window more narrow resulting in losing vertical space due to not using full screen.
Suggestion:
Allow scales far below 77 to make the game better playable on screens with aspect ratio of 21:9 or even wider.
Two more side notes:
1. the slider does have a tool tip that doesn't make much sense. Could be removed or better replaced with a description of the function.
2. behind the word "scale" there is a hardcoded colon behind a space resulting in: "Scale :". In some languages (i.e. German) the space is not correct. So please include the colon into the string for translation.• Which browser are you using?
