Great Admirals and Resolution/Full Screen Mode

[zyx]

As cities no longer need to be coastal, a great admiral might spawn in a locked sea and might not be moved to another city, as he has only access to the harbor tile: please let great admirals move to next harbor.

I don`t want to play on resolution 1920x1080 as the letters are very small. Yet full screen settings don`t make full screen, but partly screen. I wish the game would change resolution to set resolution and after quitting back again.
Win 10 greys my resolution setting out, so it is very annoying to reset it.

Great admirals:

Search shows about 20 other posts reporting this issue already, but this appears to be the first one.

Since Great Admirals are currently classed as naval units they can have a major problem when they spawn at a city with a land-locked City Centre district. As the city centre has no access to the coast the unit cannot get to it in order to transfer to another city, and this becomes an insoluble problem when they have spawned in a small inland sea with nowhere to go, as is happening repeatedly in my current game.

I have now had to kill off 3 such great people in succession because I just could not use them, although I really wanted to, and I couldn't even use their retire ability because in each case that required them to be on the same tile as a naval unit. I have 10 cities with harbours so why do they keep spawning at just this one, and only on the inland sea? They need to be allowed to move on land or to be able to transfer between harbour districts rather than city centre districts. As the great admiral is an individual not a ship, I would think land travel makes most sense.
