The HD images are indeed less blurry and have better contrast (but it was only noticably to me by comparing equal wonders side by side), overall setup looks nicer, thank you. Feels strange that I have to install an extrernal script to get it though, I would rather like HD as official BGA option. Since BGA has an "art director"(DrClick), maybe you overstep competencies again? I hope that communication between you and BGA staff keeps flowing...
No overstepping here, BGA framework limits total image size to 10Mb max so that kind of hd assets is simply not possible for devellopers right now to limit bandwith

@Tadachini: I am petty now but could you add a small note to the very first post saying that "card memorization" was included in earlier versions? Just to make sure that people, who discover this thread in the future, will be able to understand the long and heated discussion.
But then we will miss all the fun when they post here!

May I ask why you are screenshotting every hand every game?
So i have to lessen the effort to keep track of what's going on in every hand. Otherwise i have to focus too much...in aboring way.

Haha, +1 on this
Great job by the way, I don't use it but everything seems nice and I'm glad the "cheating part" has been removed.
The work around is off course the screenshots, haha

Unfortunately, card tracking was rules as against the spirit of the game, so this functionality was removed from Pythia. If you have some free time on your hands, grab a beer and read first 10 pages of this thread - card tracking raised a lot of heat during the summer, we had a lot of drama

Using this kind of stuff is just like using a bot in playing chess online.

Since this is cheat free one feature that I would like is an extension that will ONLY hide the score in the game.
Why?
To train for IRL 7 wonders where you don't have the score in front of you.

So scores in the right sidebar + on the boards, right?
