I can't use Reach Profile which works on lower-end GPUs because the map texture is 4096x2800 and Reach profile doesn't support textures over 2048x2048"},{"author_name":"SirJson","author_uid":"18639","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:00pm","epoch":1355766900,"text":"Hm the idea is great!

So i got through the whole game and no end screen -_- jks this game i found pretty addictive cause i wanted to see if i could click every country ;o your map was a bit too indepth :p.
