Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.
It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.
To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.
Will there be...
1) Multi colored shields which we can place emblems on and use as a weapon?
2) Maple Leaf Emblem
3) Place emblems on either a) specific parts like chest, back and forhead or b) move/place multiple emblems anywhere on the body?

Let's just hope MWM will not repeat the mistake made during the 1992 World Series...

Just to make things perfectly clear.
I'm Canadian. You have nothing to worry about.
It is only when we stand up, with all our failings and sufferings, and try to support others rather than withdraw into ourselves, that we can fully live the life of community.

Lothic, Im tired of you ONLY caring about content -YOU- want to see.
Without an upside down Canadian flag, how am I going to make AntiMaple, the polite but deadly rogue mountie?
(Internet tone check, that entire post was written in *sarcasm font*)
What's the deal with this? Are you Swiss? Or is the reference to Alberta?
A cross like that (either red on white or white on red) has become a pretty universal symbol for "first aid" and/or "medical services". Even the international version of that is the following:

"Gonna have to kill you now... sorry, eh?" ;)
Reminds me of the Jim Carrey cameo from Anchorman 2:

All joking aside I wouldn't mind if they allowed any symbol to be oriented in any direction so that players could make "anarchist" type characters.

I am, of course, familiar with the Red Cross and I understand why that's used as a generic symbol for medical services. Seeing a country's flag used for the same purpose is strange, at least to me. This thread provided an opportunity to highlight this confusion. [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3663670/]There's this article[/url] for those interested in a little more reading.

Thanks for linking to the article. I was actually unaware of the specific origin of the "red cross" symbol used by the Red Cross and it makes sense it was in honor of the Swiss national (Jean-Henri Dunant) who first organized the idea. But yeah I can see now in the time since then how so many people have sort of lazily come to assume that both the "red on white" cross and the "white on red" equally stand for the Red Cross without specific regard to Switzerland.
I suppose it's "kind of weird" for a current national flag to also be conflated with a trusted humanitarian symbol but really in the scheme of things I doubt I'm ever going to lose sleep over it. All things considered if you're going to have your national flag confused for something else I could think of a lot worse things it could be confused with and I suspect the average Swiss citizen doesn't care about this one way or the other.
Frankly I almost think it's more strange that there's such things as the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement#History_of_the_emblems]"Red Crescent" and "Red Crystal"[/url] but that may just be me. ;)

Oh, I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. Nor will I pass up the opportunity to rib MWM if they make that mistake.

It is pretty funny to see so many people get the Red Cross wrong, considering there's a pretty big hint right in the name.
Spurn all ye kindle.
Well there's a whole lot of people who are -not- associated with the official Red Cross organization who long ago co-opted "some kind of cross with colors red and white" to simply mean "first aid" or "something medical oriented". This is why I have a pretty hard time caring whether any of these people know that one of those combos is identical to the Swiss flag. Again I've never heard of a Swiss national saying they cared one way or another. *shrugs*
To be perfectly honest a thing that bothers me more is knowing how many countries use the same "red, white and blue" colors for their national flags:
[list]
[*]Australia
[*]Chile
[*]Cuba
[*]Czech Republic
[*]Democratic People's Republic of Korea (a.k.a. North Korea)
[*]France
[*]Iceland
[*]Lao People's Democratic Republic (a.k.a. Laos)
[*]Luxembourg
[*]Nepal
[*]Netherlands
[*]New Zealand
[*]Norway
[*]Panama
[*]Russian Federation
[*]Samoa
[*]Slovakia
[*]Taiwan
[*]Thailand
[*]United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Island
[*]United States of America
[/list]
Talk about being unoriginal...

I'm pretty sure that we'll be able to choose the colors ourselves, or at least I hope so since it will hugely expand the possibilities for a fairly small amount of work.
Actually, that bag is Not from the Canadian Red Cross. It is provided by St. John's Ambulance. I know, I have that exact bag in my car for emergencies.
I’m more irritated by the Caduceus being erroneously used as a medical symbol even though historically it has nothing to do with medicine. It’s a symbol of Hermes and represents commerce and/or diplomacy.
The Rod of Asclepius is the Ancient Greek symbol of medicine. It’s totally different.
If you want to talk about national flags being misappropriated, how would you feel if you were from Libya? At least up until 2011 this is what it looked like:
Which is extra ironic considering you'd figure [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi]Muammar Gaddafi[/url] would've come up with something grandiose and/or flashy for his flag. Go figure...

If this thread is now about how people commonly misuse stuff, am I allowed to bring up 'clipping' again?
*Ducks and runs out of the room*
Spurn all ye kindle.
Yeah wasn't it your crazy idea that "clipping" was more like what this [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_%28computer_graphics%29]wiki page[/url] talks about? Coincidentally this wiki page in question ends with the following paragraph that probably summaries your main issue with this:
Unfortunately because I'm old enough to be "historical" it'll continue to not bother me when people use the term "clipping" wrong. ;)

To go wayyy back to where this thread started lol, in answer to your question 3, they did show on the Twitch videos the ability to put emblems on different parts of the character's body.
