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.

ALON

Well there's something I didn't know about yesterday ... a real world material that has been named ALON.

Quote:

Aluminium oxynitride or ALON is a ceramic composed of aluminium, oxygen and nitrogen.
Transparency range 200–5000 nm

But for those of us who are sci-fi geeks, there's a better touchstone for understanding what this stuff is ...

Looks like it only took us about 30 years to work out the dynamics of the matrixine Scotty input into the Apple ][ computer ...

I'm always happy to see

I'm always happy to see anything "predicted by sci-fi" become science fact. Turns out some of the initial patents for "transparent aluminum" have been around almost as long as Star Trek IV has (mid 1980s) but that doesn't make the stuff any less cool. More recently I've heard of experiments to make "transparent iron" but apparently they have to hit certain iron isotopes with all sorts of fancy X-ray lasers to get that to work at the moment.

I guess stuff like ALON is still relatively expensive to use which explains why everything isn't made out of it yet. Eventually it would be cool if they start making things like glasses or smartphone screens from that kind of thing to make them stronger and they'll probably figure it out eventually.

That's the nature of industry

That's the nature of industry. Once they know how to make something that's expensive, someone will figure out how to miniaturize it, make it more cost efficient, and over time those two factors result in things being more available to the general public.

Give it 15 years and ALON should be readily available to civilians for comparable prices to glass.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Alon is the name of a Fuel

Alon is the name of a Fuel company in New Mexico. Gas stations all over with that name up in lights.

Be Well!
