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 Captains: Titan City's Favorite Team

So... this is a thread about the Kickstarter update:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts

Firstly, Go Captains!

Secondly..... Captains? Why?
Titan City Captains? I don't get it.
I don't understand why they're the picked on team.... why they're stigmatized into not being allowed to win...
the rules of the game don't change. and just like in the real world, the players on the team are NOT representative of the city they're in.
They're just a team. they have a budget, they hire what players they can.

It would be a LOT more likely that other teams would be unwilling to come to Titan City, and risk running into a villain attack (pehaps that has actually happened before.. ala Dark Knight Rises)

And, as such, if we're going to pretend that TC exists in the real world, and that these Captains need a reason not to appear at the Superbowl..... Make a new league....
a league with different rules that are more accommodating to more than normal humans...

Then The Captains can be "the best in their league" (after all, they are the mecca of Super types)... since most other markets don't have a whole lot of meta human pull.

And, to that end... I once again would like to suggest that there be two teams in Titan City.... a "North Bay" team, that gets all the press and publicity (New York Yankees) and a "South Bay" team that almost always loses to their northern cousins, but are fiercely loved by locals and those who root for underdogs (New York Mets)

I do wish I could "Get" the choice for the team name, The Captains. I mean, I know the devs could just come up with some reason why they got the name.... but.... I donno.

...I guess I just wish the name reflected the history of the city, or the game...
Call them the "Ozzies" (honoring Oswald Lawrence) or the "Paragons" (like the city ;))..... heck even just the "Heroes"..... ya know?

And then, make the South side team be more blue collar... the kind of guys who's pride the Gabby Cabbie would fight some north bay lawyer over:
"The Ironmen" (straight out of Ironport)
or
"The Steevers" (shot for Stevedores)

give us some cross town rivalry we can actually root for IN game.... not just an excuse to put blue and gold on some NPCs.... but a way to tell what part of town your in, just BY those blue and gold jerseys....
