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.

Anyone see Wonder Woman yet? Thumbs up or down?

Here is my question. Did the

Here is my question. Did the comics go off of the Zeus creating humans? Or did the movies do that? I don't really care that much that they went against mythology and took the route of "Zeus is the ultimate good guy!", just curious.

Also, am I the only one who thinks the actress for wonder woman did a really good "I'm beautiful", and "I want to have sex" expressions. But everything else seemed kinda lack luster and cheesy?

WW imo was ultra cliche. But still a good movie. Definitely better than some of DC's previous movies.

i'm still not convinced they are the mythical greek gods, but some alien offshoot. Energy fields around the island, mother boxes that were stolen and bright with them to earth. etc etc etc

Aries ages, but very very slowly... and can't transform into other creatures, that's why the mustache stays where it is. even if the audiences were to critique it, they stayed true... cause, later on, if they Really are aliens, much like Darkseid, once fought against his kind, they HAVE TO LEAVE THE 'STACHE! :p

Rant over.

I thought we had already established that the so-called "Greek Gods" were actually space aliens...

Is there anything Star Trek can't teach us? ;)

Did he age slowly, or did he just change his appearance to appear older to fit into his role in the war?

No one on the island seemed to age except Diana.

It's true we saw Diana "grow up" in the movie. But it occurred to me that during the scenes showing Diana growing up there were no references to time passing in the outside world. Basically what I'm suggesting is that for all we know it could have literally taken Diana several thousand years to become "an adult" on the island and they just didn't bother to make that overtly obvious in the film. Also she could have been (and probably was) "fully grown" for centuries -before- Trevor appeared as well.

While I'm not sure how long it took for her to actually grow up, from child to 30 year old, I did feel centuries had to pass, since Zeus gave her Diana way back in the days that Amazon's and the gods were a thing. :p

I was disappointed not to see mention of a single Amazon that disagreed with Hippolatte. :p

Didn't Antiope basically "disagree" with Hippolyta about training Diana? At first (at least) Hippolyta didn't want her to be trained but Antiope more or less convinced Hippolyta that Diana needed to be trained to fight.

I meant with their way of living. Not a "Leave her to be a baby" which even Hippolatte knew was never going to stay.

No disagreements for them leaving in the first place. No one calling her out on being a selfish bitch, like she was basically called out in the animated movie. :p

***** Spoiler Alert *****

Ah OK. I personally thought it was a little weird that they basically let Diana go without much fuss and at the same time kept the "big secret" from her on the theory that she would do better somehow not knowing the full truth? Seems like if the other Amazons really wanted Diana to succeed in her mission they would have sat her down first and let her in on the "what her purpose in life" thing was before she left.

Well, we don't know how many know the truth and how many didn't.

They likely all knew she wasn't made of clay (as the movie suggests), but that would assume all the Amazons saw Hippolatte out and about and all pregnant. Small enough island, maybe, if she didn't go into hiding.

Yeah TOS always managed to throw in some interesting "fashion" choices:

[img=250x300]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/65/8d/e1/658de1245163a341b3e967cca305fd61.jpg[/img][img=300x300]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0e/cb/1d/0ecb1d0ea2b2e97a62770c5330b32dbe.jpg[/img][img=300x300]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__9PCmBrOEMA/TA70CvFNh5I/AAAAAAAACfs/G9SeW3Iv_x0/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/Android_duplicator_controls.jpg[/img]

And so on. Trends have changed enough since the 60s that I'd seriously doubt a show (at least that wasn't on a pay cable/internet channel) could get away with this kind of thing.

Ironically I think this was part of the reason why to took so many decades to finally get a Wonder Woman move made. People didn't seem to know how to handle the relatively revealing "swimsuit" outfit that Lynda was able to wear a version of in the 70s. I figure much of the design of the new movie outfit came about because they had to find a way to make her look "respectable" enough to be acceptable to most people in 2016+.

It's not that a leotard out

It's not that a leotard out can't be worn and made to work in today's cinema, it's they're usually afraid to, for varied reasons.

I was actually impressed when Psylocke was made to keep hers and it looked good.

Best when viewed in full screen mode.
And yes, that's the artist who played the theme music ... and the wet clay on her skin is a callback to Diana's origins of having been made from clay by her mother.
