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.

MECH ASSAULT! OOC

Out of Character comments for Xselcier's MECH ASSAULT RP thread.

First question, continuity with regards to Children of Science: Is this after Simone's body is finished? After her powered armor is finished? And is Adam staying with the Morrison-O'Brians or is he getting his own place? If I'm about to guess wrong on these, I can edit later.

Am I correct that these transports are fixed-wing (or maybe lifting body) aircraft, with either vectored thrust or contragravity for hovering? If so, are they sticking around?

Last question, for LeadWanderer: Has the Icarus arrived in Titan City yet?

It could be after the Children of Science time jump if you want it to be. I didn't really have a fixed time point in mind for this thread when it came pouring out of my head at 3:00 in the morning ;-D

Adam would probably stay with M&O unless they talked to it about getting its own place.

If contragravity is anything like repulsorlifts from Star Wars, then yes. No, they did not stick around. They are currently running away from a pack of F-35's that are hot on their tail.

Just so you all know I'm playing Scattershot like an Energy blaster. Still thinking of secondary and mastery powers. Think I go ahead and say she has Energy Manipulation, and force Mastery.

Would make sense that Eric build weapons designed to force foes away from his Daughter lol.

Sorry, I was away from my computer all of Saturday.

There's something I probably should have said earlier, but kept forgetting about. Considering the scope of this attack, people are free to say what their attacks are doing to the mechs. I do not consider them characters that I want to have a chance to react. They are merely a large flock of very dangerous NPC's, so feel free to beat the snot out of them! Have fun!

Sorry, I've been at my computer almost all weekend; my roommate was dragging me off to Draenor... ^_^

So Target Six should have no comms, not much left of the missile rack, plus whatever damage Scattershot did, Two should not be able to self destruct, One tried, and Zero never had the chance...

The T-Crates have a bunch of skyhooks, essentially a power cell, a magnetic grapple, a contragravity generator (and yes, that's like the Star Wars repulsorlift, but both Millie and Marianne are fans of Piper, I think they got it from Millie's dad...) and a tachyon thruster, with a simple computer and comm system to coordinate for lifting large loads. Figure each to have about a half a ton of lift at about two G for twenty minutes, not that these are likely to last that long on this kind of job...

I'm not sure if it's good news or bad news that no one at the park seems to know about the condition of the pilots yet.

This looks really interesting! i was looking for something to involve my supervillain team in, and this is right up their alley, if you don't mind my saying so. If nothing else, the villain previously known as Tinker is going to want to get some salvage in order to reverse engineer the robots. Nobody minds if i step in, right?

WTF was I thinking having Liberty Girl kill one of the pilots?! I can only blame sleep deprivation. I've edited that post for anyone who wants to go back and read it.

I believe the only ones that are left from the Old Bradford group are Three, Four, and Five? The small mechs that went for the flank?

EDIT: I mentioned in my latest post that the trio (we still need a name for their group!) will be fighting for almost an hour to take down the mechs safely. they could probably do it a lot faster if they weren't so eager to be careful and to save various pieces for Tinker to study, but there it is. Should be long enough for another hero to get involved, aye?

I'm thinking once the Old Bradford Border squad is disabled and stable, Tinker Belle and The Children of Science! will head to Ephesus.

Closest character I have to Phoenix Plaza is the Bookwyrm under the Central Library. But she's not a hero, unless the bad guys are threatening her hoard/library. Next closest would be either Goldenrod (over at Whitehold, likely still asleep) or the Falcon (who teleports ^_^).

No offense Rott, but your last post (at least in regards to Tinker) is kinda godmod-y, what with making the assumption that Whipcrack's communicator is on, and that it can pick up the sound of tinker talking.

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".

My thoughts exactly, Halae.

My thoughts exactly, Halae.

Rott teleporting up there to see what's going on is one thing, but Whipcrack leaving his communicator on so that others could hear is not something he would do. He's trying to get this woman to trust him. Rott popping up there because he was listening in on the entire conversation will chase her away and cause a massive distrust of heroes in the future.

No problem. I was kind of tired after work and didn't think it would be an issue. Figured given how Whipcrack and Rotten on the same team he would be hearing. Rping tired does that.

Still working on the idea

Still working on the idea itself. I don't want Hel to be a HELL. Hel didn't just take damned souls she took anyone that wasn't a Hero.

So far the setting I got in mind is Hel's Hall rests on a Mountain Helgafjell, where there is a city of souls that died but aren't damned. So they live in the afterlife much like they would living just free of suffering and pain. Then there the path over the bridge of Gjallarbrú that goes into the mountain where the realm of the dishonored and damned souls dwell. Much like the Christian HELL where torments are delivered to these Hel wishes to punish. Rotten having died trying to steal Hel's Jewel (that turned him into a draugr) would have ended up there. So when he portals into Hel's Realm he ends up in that area, being her Champion in midgard he can leave it and visit the more peaceful Mountain city.

For an adventure I would have to think some more about what they will see and face.

I had a very busy weekend and Monday. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I also wasn't sure how to reply. Whipcrack might know a way to fix the girls problem, but I didn't want to poke a giant glaring hole in your storyline.

I'll explain the situation here and see what you think about it.

I have a character, Flashpoint, who is a billionaire. She's the President, CEO, and chief stockholder of Promethean Dynamics, creator and distributor of the Torchbearer OS. She's also a highly respected and generous philanthropist. One of her outreach programs could be a treatment and recovery organization for civilians that have been gravely injured by super-battles. Sort of like the Wounded Warrior Project, if you're familiar with that. Whipcrack knows Flashpoint and could make this suggestion to her. It's something she'd be more than willing to do.

But like I said, I don't want to poke a hole in your narrative unless you're okay with it.

"No plan survives contact with the enemy" or so they say. I don't have a plan for this - it's a starting motivation first off, and was going to remain so for a while, so someone doing something with it is interesting. Don't worry about poking holes - just go for it :)

By my count: 5 pilots are dead and 3 are missing, leaving 22 in Phoenix Plaza.

1 pilot was killed when it's mech crashed into the truck full of oxy-acetylene tanks. 4 more pilots were killed by Faceless's character.

The sources of the telemetry

The sources of the telemetry are the mechs that are sending video and maybe other data we're not yet aware of. Our heroes are attempting to find where it's going to, that would be the satellite. My question was, are the mechs that Leader has with him also sending data to the satellite? If so, Monitor's probe might notice it.

Whether it's M&O's lab depends on two things. The first is why Leader chose the location he did. M&O's lab is not primarily robotics, they've only made two complete bodies this year, Lexi's and Simone's, there are likely others that do more robotics. Second would be, do you want Tinker Belle and AIko to be aware of it within a few seconds after Leader arrives? They can be there in considerably less than seventeen minutes... And the Falcon (Mr. Northbrook, to ALX-32) can be there in less than seventeen seconds after he gets a phone call...

I'm now thinking that most of what we've seen so far is a diversion, designed to get emergency services out of the NERD and into Alexandria, though maybe if they hadn't been stopped the Ephesus University squad would've gone on to do the op that Leader is handling. But Our Heroes wouldn't realize this (or think this, if I'm off base) until after they find out about the new strike.

The robots with Leader are

The robots with Leader are not sending out telemetry. They are only communicating with each other and with Leader. There is no indication that this heist has anything to do with the mech assault.

Given your explanation of M&O, I'm going to say that it is not their lab. Their lab would not have what Leader needs. So, for right now, it is just an advanced robotics lab in the NERD that currently has an intrusion alarm going off. I'd rather they not be immediately aware of it, but I will leave their response time up to you.

The lab is located as far from Alexandria as possible, while still being inside the NERD.

Halae, before I can have

Halae, before I can have forces assault your base, I'll need more information on it. Methods of entry beyond the bay entrance, size, depth underground (I'm assuming), outer defenses, etc.

Also, the base attack won't happen until after the assault mastermind has finished their tasks elsewhere in the city. As far as they are concerned, the mechs/pilots are expendable and they will only consider a 'rescue' after they have attained their primary goal.

That's fine, I just wasn't

That's fine, I just wasn't aware of what was going on with it.

For specs, the bay entrance is the only one that the mech's leadership would be aware of, given that's where the trio brought the mechs in. The base itself is about the size of a large house with a tunnel leading to the entrance and a tunnel leading directly up toward the surface. Said tunnels have retractable turrets along the walls for aiming at intruders. It's only about fifty feet underground, though - the bay entrance is about 300 feet long. This was made by a bunch of beginners, they just wanted somewhere to be rather than trying to rent out a warehouse or something. "outer defenses" is basically the camouflaged outer doors, so they're not liable to find those a problem if they know where the entrances are.

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".

It'll likely be a while before Tinker Belle gets to The Terrible Trio's bolt hole; she's keeping her speed down while she scans.

The second of the two spare flight packs would be for Shifter. If he can't use it, or if Scattershot's suit can't reach low Earth orbit, they'll have to use the Gooney Bird to check out the satellite, once they've pinned its location down. The Gooney Bird is a highly modified DC-3. There's a reason they've installed an airlock...

Sorry to slip in Sandman

Sorry to slip in Sandman there Xselcier just was way to much of a temptation not to. it be something he would have done himself if he had the tech to build a Mech force. I was thinking of setting a building on fire. So when this happened and seeing it was a diversion tactic... well.

For some reason my villains are opportunistic. They don't cause trouble but when they see something that catches their attention or fits in their goals they go for it.
