Out of the houses, which is the most blue?

The answer might not be be obvious at first.

The UI in these games, or at least Empire and Shogun 2, are hella tiny and barely legible. Like I gotta squint to read anything which is especially bad when looking at unit costs. I've got a 16.5" laptop display at 1600*900 and an external monitor at 22", and no changing around of monitor or resolution seems to keep the UI in check for me.
Also, I sort of suck at defending forts or attacking uphill. And often I can barely tell if my artillery is managing to shoot anything other than the ground in front of it without going into slow-mo, staring at the loading animation, and checking the path manually. If I could figure out if my cannons have proper line-of-sight without babysitting them, I would also like that.

Super fun games, but like with all games with RTS elements I sort of suck. Mainly just going through Empire's campaign mode now to try and get the hang of things.
