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.

Play A Citizen, Henchman, Vigilante

This is probably an obvious concept but I figured I'd touch on this subject anyway.

Obviously there are many forms of hero or villain. The super powered with their extraordinary skillful abilities, supernatural capabilities, technological prowess, etc... Then their are the other guys.

The police, the firemen, the extremely small-time masked vigilantes who're just starting out (examples being Arkham Impostors which is more of a parody version rather than an actual example), concerned citizens, reporters, gangsters, criminals, henchmen, cultists, somewhat trained ninjas, robots, a whole bunch of other 'norms' that don't stand out amongst the whole mass of unique, powerful and often gifted heroes.

I've seen quite a few people try to play as normal heroes but often people are not often given the powers for the aesthetic of the individual. Examples a policeman would shoot fire from his hands, a fireman turns into a werewolf, etc.

The question is, I suppose, could a person play more as a normal everyday or a fairly low level initiate.

Example I'd play some typical gangster named Jerome, runs with the East State Kings Gang, his only special ability is his Uzi and Breaking into cars.

Somewhat more of a question as to whether I can play a mob on the game.

When life gives you lemons. SHOOT IT WITH LASERS!!!

This has already been

This has already been commented on in the Kickstarter updates and the answer is yes. They do want to put origins into the character development (one of the specific examples they gave was starting out as a small time crook and kicking out your boss). And they want to make powers much more customizable than CoH powers were (and other games).

Aha I found a link to all the updates:

i rolled a few characters

i rolled a few characters that were non super heroes/villains in CoH... whats nice is CoT is planning on letting us change where powers come from... so all your stuff can come from guns and weapons etc. Brass knuckle super punch with knockdown... cone aoe with a shotgun, all believable. Also we can kinda choose our own story. Im sure you can just not take over if you dont want to be "the ruler" at whatever level you are aiming for.

id avoid travel powers, take a bunch of leadership stuff, only grab powers that had a weapon attached, no aoe stuff unless it was from a rifle or something.
They are fun to play and rp.
when you arn't min/max 'ing concepts can get odd and awesome.
