It says that I can run it, and I don't deny that. But it only will run on a minimalistic level, and in my experience that is no better than not being able to play it at all. Especially when it crashes and fucks up my computer. How would I get it functioning to a 'fast' level? x x x ly babe luls
Like the boyz said - get more memory - and upgrade your graphix card. :dono:

What to? What's the best? And how do I put them in? And how do I replace my fan?

Thanks, but is there any certainty more RAM will improve it? One kid tells me I need a new graphics card, pcu, cpu, and then RAM. Silly.







I just tried to play it and it was too slow. It was inconveniently slow, it was just so slow that there was a 30 second delay of clicking a character/unit and getting a response. Will ram better this?

You may need a Want a faster Cpu or graphics card if you want to play new release games but that is expensive , Right now More Ram will Help you a LOT and It doesn't cost that much.

I stopped at Rome.

Anything after that was just trying to look pretty for no real gain in gameplay (with the possible exception of naval battles) IMO.

I'm currently conquering the known world as the British :)

Buying parts individually can cost you a quarter of the cost of a new PC. Not that expensive when you have a job... and if you don't buy them all at once.

Look, it takes time to build an Empire. You shouldn't be trying to make it run more quickly, you should be getting it to run much more slowly.

He went where all spammers go. His posts with him. He is now resident in Deletalia. :tea:

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

He saw the thread's title and in order to look inconspicuous he just pasted the text from the game's cover into his post. The point was to post so his signature shows up.
