May I ask if the game will utilize multiple processor cores if available? I always prefered the immense games and other 4X games (e.g. any Civ or GC2) tend to be notoriously poor at multithreading. I do a lot of VM work so, I am fortunate to have a 12 core system to game on. Sure would be nice if the game would actually use em.

Good question. The way SOSE is going it is extremely pertinent.

Hi there!

I can't really say anything about this right now. Other than: I have not seen a 12 core system in my life and I am afraid we will not be able to test the game on such a monster. *G* But of course we are striving for best performance on all systems.

Many greetings,
Chris
