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.

Phoenix symbolism?

The most prominent motif associated with the game is the Phoenix.

- The working title was The Phoenix Project.
- There's a macguffin that powered American Star and later Anthem called the Phoenix.
- Titan City's biggest landmark is Phoenix Plaza. It's the seat of Titan City's government, has a number of different key buildings, and has the statue of the Phoenix.
- A hundred years ago, Titan City was burned down by the Great Fire of 1908 (an event that actually happened), and would rebuild, leading to the "Like a phoenix, we will rise from these ashes" speech by Oswald Lawrence to describe the reconstruction.

Hmm, maybe there's an entity called the Phoenix Force... wait, wrong verse.

Anything else?

I suspect the Phoenix isn't a motif of the game just because it's a cool, but I think there's a deeper meaning to it. The connection I made is that the community is like a phoenix, rising from the ashes that was the shutdown of City of Heroes, and rebuilding something new.

What do you think?

I've always thought of

I've always thought of Nymeria as a type of Elissa/Dido, but your post, other than being most enjoyable, made me think of Daenerys Tutuapp 9apps Showbox as one, too.
