Macster

I am thinking of picking one up myself soon. But I need to know if the display out to HDMI is durable.

I use my MBP thunderbolt port and no lie, I have gone through about 7 wires for that port, they all either burn out or maybe the port on my MBP is fried ( I use it daily on multiple screens for about 8 hours a day).


If the iPads can hold up to that kind of stress I will get me one and stop giving these peripheral companies my money ><

Awesome! Thank you for the reply.

I have been playing this game fora  while and I love it. It can feel small but changing map sizes usually reveals that the world is actually much bigger in many cases.

one question though, and yes I tried to search but the search function always return with 0 results, is can PC and Mac users play together online?

As for the A.I. I am not sure it is that realistic it is for sure aggressive to an incredible degree though. If it smells blood, it will pounce, even your "allies" will just as quickly take you out if they perceive you as weak. I have found not letting even allies pass through your lands helps in delaying attacks, but it is just a delay, they will often pounce on your smallest settlements first and see if they can deplete you by how you respond to defend it.

I have seen the benches and I am still concerned with performance though on these new retina display books. Assuming they are standard from here on out. The new iPads got them and any art app starts to chug almost immediately with only  a few layers in use, the previous MBP models (of which I have) also start to throttle pretty bad after only a dozen layers of art and color on screen. And that is with the graphic switching turned off so I can get all the AMD chip can offer graphics-wise and with the full 8 gigs of ram on board.

These new i7s don't seem like a huge leap forward over the ones introduced last year either. Once people load their MBPs up with all sorts of software and things I wonder how they will still handle at those resolutions. I guess I'll wait to hear from others who use art apps extensively(Photoshop, Painter etc.) and see their verdict is on these new MBPs.
