The game is multithreaded

However, in previews, they said it was slowing down to snail like speeds later on into the game on an I7 system with an ATI 5870.

That could have been because the game wasnt finished at that point and was poorly coded.

Watching it now, hoping to see some AI in action as that's the only think they have been failing to show really from all the trailers.

That's what I've been thinking. Should be interesting to see how well it will run on a mates older spec machine with ATi 1850XT and whether he'll need to spend some money on an upgrade.

Feels weird to considering upgrades for a turn-based strategy game, I wonder where all that GFX rendering power is going...

Cavallino · 13 Sep 2010 at 22:33

It was funny that their graphics card overheated apparently

evoyear · 13 Sep 2010 at 22:40

looks good, I am playing some strategy game now
