I just fired up the new [0.98] build and the graphical upgrades are sweet, some of what I have been waiting for 
I also saw the expanded new game options and really like all the little options there, think I found one of the sliders a little weirdly named but I will take a look at that later.
I would like to suggest that each slider has (at least) 5 options, "Very Low", "Low", "Moderate", "High", "Very High" so there is more options, I figure these are a few numbers to switch around in the game files, if its big its not too important.
More importantly, I would really like to know how much each option impacted the game instead of just guessing or looking over the files,
so it would be nice if the non-modded descriptions would include something like Resources:
"Low; The resources of the world will be sparse and you will have to struggle for each single resource - 20% less resources than on Moderate".
Just my thoughts, I really like to know what is going on is all.
Sincerely
