Desktop shortcut for Mantle Civ BE ?

[bc1]

It's easy to create a desktop shortcut to DX11 Civ BE.
Does anyone know how to create one for Mantle Civ BE ?

Thanks.

Anybody who knows what launch options Civ:BE has?

In Civ5, "/dx11" bypassed the DirectX9/11 box and went straight into the DirectX 11 version. Are there similar launch options for Civ:BE?

I would like to know what the difference is between BE and BE with AMD mantle?

Basically, Mantle is a graphics API (like DirectX 11) that only works on newer AMD graphics cards (so, you should probably use that option if you have the correct card). Here are some details from the Firaxis dev blog: http://www.firaxis.com/?/blog/single/why-we-went-with-mantle

I'd rather not have to select Mantle or no Mantle every time I launch the game from Steam. Anyone know if there's a launch option I can set to choose none mantle automatically?

I was able to workaround this by replacing game DX11 exe with game Mantle exe.

Very crude workaround, but I am not aware of any better solution.

Just using game Mantle exe as shortcut will not work (at least for me), since it will again launch game DX11 exe.
