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.

The science of superheroes and supervillains

Apparently there are very real genetic factors behind the personalities of people prone to doing both extreme acts of good will and extreme acts of evil. Not surprisingly, science backs up the old adage that there is a fine line between good and evil.

Verrry interesting. The

Verrry interesting. The author has developed an interesting theory. The cited scientific base is pretty thin, but these were not intended to be peer-reviewed pieces and it's a relatively new theoretical extension. It would be interesting to see the balance of empirical evidence for and against, as it currently sits, as well as the frequency of the X-Altruists and sociopaths compared.

Thanks for bringing this forward, Greyhawk!
