Endru found us a good way to upscale all assets, i havd no time since but here i save the howto

Apps to convert image assets
the windowed one:

there is converseen.
It's open source and there can be upscale chosen for images

converseen also has point filter.
And it's window

the command line one (use the windowed one instead):

i also checked and found this:
https://legacy.imagemagick.org/
magick d:\img\unit_great_transport_upg1.png -filter point -resize 200% d:\img\o\unit_great_transport_upg1.png
with this command it made a perfect nonfiltered upscale (i also checked the teamcolor that became exactly the same - so no blurring)

in jsons to be updated
- shiftIndicatorsDown
- cropToRect.top .left .bottom .right
- autoSpriteShift
- imgTilesetTileSize in terrains.json
- and possibly some work with help doc

Uhm. Can it just be grouped version like aow?

Honestly, I would like that more.

Of course, buildings or smt like elephants can just be upscaled.

Grouped would require much more work, than simple resizing.
Although with 64px based images it is possible.

Is it harder because Stratego requires a different pose for the grouped version?

Well, I didn't try so I don't really know anyway. But if it the 32x unit can just be copy-pasted on the same image 2x, I don't think it's that hard.

We can auto upscale the thousands of unit images, with one button click in this software.

So we do not edit images manually.

Ohh.

So that's why

That actually might be useful later for aof since this game has highest amount of units among all ao-games.
