It's mainly CPU-bound, but the speed of your drive (for loading artwork) and speed of your RAM will influence things. And while things like effects do take advantage of multiple cores, I also find it helpful to have a CPU with a high single-core performance. It's better with a handfull of cores and high performance per core, than a huge heap of cores with lower performance per core.

Perfect for when my players encounter those scary monsters.

Happy New Year everyone.

Just a reminder that this little challenge is still open until January 16th if you want to give it a go. Keep in mind this is just for fun, so don't feel intimidated by all the fantastic entries so far.

I find it a nice resource. It should install fine with CC3+, but the procedures do require some manual unzipping of some zip files, so it is important to unzip these exactly as described in the guides, as ending up with one more or one less folder in the path is guaranteed to lead to red X'es.....

Note that symbols in CC3+ are just standard .png files. To get the right size, they should be 20 pixels per map unit for overland maps (so 20 pixels/mile), but you can also scale them inside CC3+ itself.
