Can I run this on my aging pc
PC Specs
Does this game have multi-core support?
PC Specs
nope, if you buy the steam version do not expect high fps at all, i mean 10 fps in normal scale battles, doesnt overly matter due to it being a strategy not an fps
PC Specs
Can I run this?
PC Specs
You may run this fine at lowest settings. I use to play this game on my laptop that had an Pentium Dual Core T4300 2.1GHz and its iGPU an Intel GMA 4500M
PC Specs
My setting and FPS
PC Specs
settings and fps? Thanks
PC Specs
U can eat this one, recomended to get Rome II ... :)
PC Specs
rome 2 doesn't compare to this old legend.sure,it has better graphics,but it doesn't give me the same fun and satisfaction as the first rome did.ahh,good al game ....
PC Specs
in what settings should i be able to play ?
PC Specs
Medium tweaked high due to gpu
PC Specs
Also be carefull with very large battle with the units 's scale, because as you can imagine, it is a lot more demanding.
PC Specs
I have to run on medium and i still drop to 20 fps!!!! -.-
PC Specs
Maybe because of the unit's scale ?
PC Specs
It only uses 1 cpu core :(
PC Specs
Does it drop like that for little battles too ?
PC Specs
can i max
PC Specs
should be able to but this game had poor multi core processing so most Pc's even £1000+ ones still lag with this game at times.
PC Specs
It's an absolutely great game! :)
PC Specs
can i max
PC Specs
sorry you cant play.
PC Specs
yes he can are you retarded? I could run it on my old pc with a pentium 4 and 512mb of ram
PC Specs
Can i Max?
PC Specs
One does not simply max out a Total War games. You can play on HIGH settings, but not HIGHEST for Unit Details.
PC Specs
Had to disable multi CPU cores to make it not laggy.. this game doesnt run well on multi core CPU.
PC Specs
Yeah, it was very demanding back in its days, poor multicore CPU support ddn't help either.
PC Specs
i can max everything on this game and i have alot weaker system
PC Specs
Hmm, interesting! Do you have unit details on HIGHEST, not HIGH? Anti-aliasing on HIGH, all special effects checked? Unit scale on HUGE (4v4 battle = 16k soldiers)? I have not seen ONE single system that can run this 2004 game consistently above 30 FPS using those absolute max settings. It's simply impossible without a aboslute beast rig (which I haven't seen)
PC Specs
it is almost impossible a friend of mine has a i73750 k and a gtx 680 sli played with 16k units and he had an average of 28 fps it was fine before men were swordstabbing each other though
PC Specs
Guys can someone help me out here?
I'm not sure if I will be able to run this game, what do you think?
PC Specs
i can run it tweaked high w/ 20 fps (which is very smooth, at least to me). so you should be able to play it. by the way, this is an awesome game!
PC Specs
can i run it?
PC Specs
can i play it?
PC Specs
can i max?
PC Specs
I Think you would be able to but battles might be abit laggy so u might have to skip at times
PC Specs

PC Specs

PC Specs
I'm curious to know what was everyone's favourite unit in this game? I loved using Armenian cataphract archers and early game Hastati.
PC Specs
For me it is the Spartans!
PC Specs
Yeah you can't go wrong with a few units of Spartans in your army!
PC Specs
One of my favourite games. I still play it quite often!
