High Resolution Wallpaper

I really love this game and I would like to set a 0 A.D. wallpaper as my default wallpaper. But there's one problem: The highest resolution I can find at the play0ad.com-webpage is 1600 x 1200 px. Why? That's neither a 16:9 ratio nor today a common display resolution. I would suggest publishing wallpaper at least in FullHD resolution, if not even in 4K, if possible. The game looks great, but I don't want to see such blurred wallpaper on my screen...

(Sorry if this is a duplicate, couldn't find anything else like it.)

Thx, Alex

Because this game is fifteen years old and 4:3 display were common at that time. Also I am afraid we can ´t do much for the ratio cause if a vectorial image doesnt exist resizing a small image will make it blurry unlike what you see in movies. And I don ´t think anyone will remake a bcackround in the coming weeks. You might like those though.http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/2993

Yeah, but the wallpaper on the official 0 A.D. webpage are only a few years old and they are in a 4:3 ratio. I'm playing the game on a 16:9 screen without any problems, so if there would be something like a cinematic mode (no hud, no minimap, no menu bars and so on), it would be easy to create wallpapers. Is there some kind of console command to hide the minimap and so on?

Maybe I could create some wallpapers in the future (because the alpha 18 release crashes if I try to take high-res screenshots!). Do you also have this problem? I get this error report:

Out of address space (64-bit OS may help)

Location: wvm.cpp:297 (vm::AddressRangeDescriptor::Allocate)

Call stack:

(error while dumping stack: No stack frames found)

errno = 13 (Insufficient access rights to open file)

OS error = 8 (Für diesen Befehl ist nicht genügend Speicher verfügbar.)

I'm running it on Windows 7 64 bit with 16 GB RAM, that should be more than enough. I can just take normal screenshots.

(I installed the game in C:\Program Files (x86)\0 A.D. alpha 18. Might that be a problem? Running the game as an admin doesn't solves the problem.)

@niektb:

thx! there are a few interesting pictures.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone:

nice wallpaper, but very close zoomed to the soldiers, so the edges and angles become visible.

Something like this I really like:
