[quote who="Rulestormer" reply="1" id="3456288"] DX12 seems unnecessary since GalCiv3's demand on GPU speed should be moderate. [/quote] that's where you're completely wrong. most of dx12 new stuff is to allow devs to manage low-level calls which is basically what mantle also does, and that's mainly to reduce cpu to gpu bottlenecks so that the game can unleash the real power of the gpu. one side-effect is when you can apply big optimiza

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="80" id="3158332"]Frankly, I'm kind of astounded that you don't see Fallen Enchantress as technically sophisticated.

Very coofused. Age of Wonders 1 also had transport boats. Did you see how AI used them? In fact it was hilarious -- for example, sometimes it loaded them with troops just to unload them in the same place. In Warcraft 2 sea transports were easier to manage since the maps
