I really appreciate you discussing this with me in a civilised manner and trying to make me understand the reasons behind the decision the developers took.

I guess what makes sense for a programmer might not always make sense to the consumer.

I don't mind discussing it, I do mind people coming in and saying Blah Blah Blah developers are lazy because they didn't make it multicore Blah Blah Blah, or even worse it's not been 'optimised' most people who quote that have never had to optimise anything in their life. Its not like you can click a button and suddenly its optimised and working perfectly on the near infinite different combinations of processors, motherboards, RAM, graphics cards etc.

Straight to the facts isn't rude. When you don't read the previous posts in the thread I'm not going to waste my time on your blinkered ill-informed opinions. When you make a well-informed reasoned post I'll respond accordingly.

I would much rather have a great simulation in a small area than a massive city with limited simulation.

Really not sure what all the fuss is about with the city size - the game looks great. I'm sure in time bigger areas will become available.

On the topic of it being essentially a single threaded game, aren't nearly all games anyway?

Quite a few have been able to shift different aspects off to different cores, in an almost pseudo multithread, certainly FPS's and things can move AI (which is CPU intensive) and sound, physics etc to different cores to run asynchronously but in general the actual engine, by definition, has to be single core due to the linear nature of the time update.

Then don't waste your time writing rude posts and kindly add me to your ignore list so in future you don't need to waste your time reading my posts.

Maybe if you bother to look at my post history you will find I am not a troll and a lot of my posting time is spent helping other people and not telling them to "shut up" like you do
 
virtual high five for Delphi!

I dont give a hoot how many cores its running on, i just want good gameplay, if thats running on a hamster wheel i really dont care as long as its a smooth hamster wheel.
 
so we have to faff creating lots of small specialist cities, a la Cities XL, which got a bit annoying after a while. Will they all remain real time? If memory serves in that game you just create a huge cesspit city of power and grumpy residents, pipe the power to your "real" city and have no draw backs from it

your cesspit city can pollute your other cities in the region, they are all linked in real time ;)
 
makes it a bit better then, just makes it an instanced/zoned game rather than one big world. Prob wait till after release to decide if i want to take the plunge, still not convinced by it atm
 
Whoever placed the order with the Indian company, please remember to keep us updated if your key does/doesn't work.

Yea I'm really tempted but I will wait a few days or a week and see if people get bored quick.

I'm not convinced the game is as deep as people are expecting.

lmfao. Saint Arknor. Yeah right. :D

So when's this out anyway? I take it there is no demo outside the beta?
 
Just hoping all the server issues and crashes are all ironed out by all those logging in on the 5th, so there are no problems on the 8th.
