Just saw this thread again Three weeks ago I bought R:TW gold edition on the cheap. I started with a vanilla game with the Julii that became boring soon enough, but Barbarian Invasion is pretty cool!

Definately. You didn't get civ4 to run smoothly did you? M2:TW system demands (better fitting than requirements here...) are pretty steep. There's a demo available btw.

Civ4 runs ok, large maps can take a bit of time and i dont think the code for civ4 is the best. Still hope for M2:TW
Demo.....bugger, have to paint tonight, then its the 1st episode Lost-Season3 at 10pm GMT. Then again if its anything like the 1.8Gig download of Company of Hereos Demo which took ~3 hours..best i start the download before painting!!! Actuallt Company of heroes demo seems to run ok at lowest settings, even more hope for M2:TW |

I guess I'll also need a PC upgrade for MTW 2. I could play RTW pretty well even with only a GeForce2 MX400, but with the problems I've had with Civ 4 I don't hold out much hope. Hopefully the demo will give more idea if it'll run than the Civ4 demo did.

Well, the system requirements aren't as steep as I expected:

But enough threadjacking, in other news: yesterday I finished my first barbarian invasion campaign. After a very short and failed attempt with the Lombardi I had a more enjoyable time with the Saxons Great game. Barbarian Invasion is in the budget section nowadays, about 7 euros. I started a new game with the Huns, to find out how the horde mechanic plays. It doesn't suit my builder style. I think I'm going to play with either the Eastern Roman Empire to find out how hard it is to hold (and rebuild) the empire, or I'm going to take down the ERE with the Sassanids. Chop chop
