I know there are several threads out there about sprites vs. counters, but there's been something suggested that I haven't seen any official word on:

While we understand that the sprites are not going anywhere, will it be possible in-game on purchase to be able to scale the size of the sprites and what I'll call the 'counter?' During the WWWs, I had a really hard time seeing the counters at the bottom of the sprites.

Right now it is a huge sprite (especially for infantry), and a small box underneath. You can turn the sprites off totally, which does seem to make the informational counters larger, but for those of us who don't see that well, and would like to use sprites, can we make the sprites a little smaller and the counters a little bigger?

I'm talking about let's say calling the largest state 100% - so 100%/100% would pair the largest sprite with the largest counter, while say the actual default to me looks like about 100%/50%, and turning off sprites goes to 0%/100%.

Could those be easily set? So that if someone wanted sprites, but wanted to be able to see the information underneath easily, they could just set them with an in-game interface (not all of us are modders or have a clue how to adjust game files except maybe a saved game file) to say 50%/100%, shrinking down the sprites to where the total of them and the counter don't overwhelm the province but still those of us who have sight issues can read the symbols on the counters?

Thanks in advance for any answers, and hoping that if it's not going to be in game, that someone can quickly mod this.

I agree. I was kind of hoping they would scale down the sprites and make more of them. So it looks like a small army of 3-5 troops rather than 1 single man. Would make it more interesting and would mean the "counters" could be a tad bigger
