Citera[/b] (SeljukSinan @ Jan. 06 2003,19:31)]Doubt it. I reckon this game should be able to run fine on something like 1 GHZ, 64MB graphix GEFORCE4 generation.
AS i said I hav more than twice the procesor and the best of the GEF4 cards and my game lageed incredibly untill I did i disk-defrag and even now its sometimes slow in the highest resoution whem massive armies face off. I can imaginte that RTW will demand more.

Hmmm Sounds like some trouble brewing there. I'd recommend that you check out your system mate.

I have a P3 500, 256MB RAM, 32MB ATI Rage FURY, and MTW runs great on minimum - normal settings, although it does get laggy at times.

If with your specs the game is running poorly, I would recommend looking up some topics in:

The Apothecary (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=SF;f=2)

Also have you tried stuff like Sandra2000 or Norton Utilities to tweak system ?.
-----------------

Indeed RTW will demand more than MTW.
Any CA guys willing to give us another idea. I know you guys have already stated that it will not require as much as people are expecting it too. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

i cant see the roman intro cause my computer sucks. But thats ok cause it may be the one that will be in the game. i think it would be weird if the spartans are in the game cause i believe they were no longer powerful at this time or the egyptians. Are the huns in the game?

Was thinking that Rome would be pretty much the only place left to go...Napoleonic period wouldn't work so well, as the strategy of the day was mostly walk to within a few metres of each other and blow the crap out of the man opposite...simplified of course, but not particularly TW. LOTR would be fantastic, but I'm guessing there would be rights issues now that it has become such a marketing behemoth due to the films.

Here's an idea - since so many people clearly want a LOTR TW, why don't all the mod people in the site team up and make a giant game quality LOTR mod. Not much good at anything but maps myself, but would love to chip in.

What do u think any chance of this coming out in Q3 2003??

In fact,there WILL BE a campaign map,but u will be able 2 zoom anywhere on it,and plan ur ambushes,routes etc.
It seem that u will be able to march an army in real time all over the campaign map,so that in fact means that there are no more limited battle maps,just 1 GIANT one.

I'd have posted this over there, but can't due to the board-membership system (Which is a good clever and mature system. I applaud).

However, to answer the people in that thread, yes, this is copyright infringement and yes, we could sue you over it. In fact, it'll still be copyright infringement if you type in the article. I wrote the words, and future owns 'em.

I'd imagine Shades will be getting a cease and desist from someone at Future come Monday morning. I'd suggest he takes them down before then just to avoid the nastiness.

Sorry about the typo in the article Re: Release Date, btw. I'd imagine Ludicrously tight deadline and the Editor being distracted by the ludicrously good-looking screenshots.

Er... Hurrah for Rome Total War? That'll do.

Hi Kieron Gillen. I'll make sure Wolf is aware of your message. I'll also copy and post it in that thread in the Main Hall. I had read a note from the admins earlier that we will be cutting the links to the scans with the suggestion to Wolf he contact PC Gamer (UK).

BTW, if you plan on hanging around, I can think of a few hundred people here who have a million questions to ask you, most of which you probably can't or aren't allowed to answer. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Please note that while PC Games has sent out cease and dessist mails many times they have not ( to my knowledge ) ever actually sued anyone. And not everybody complies with threats so it's not because everybody obeys http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. I do not hereby mean that it was wrong to take down the pictures. Just pointing out some things i have heard.

AS for the system requrements and spoke about earlier it seems my fear was ungrounded. CA says they get more fps out of RTW than MTW on a given system, seems strange but they obiosley do, an 800Mhz should work perfektly with RTW they say, but the system requrements are supposedly much lower, they claim to have lowerd the requerd videocard to only 4MB (if such cards still exists).

The new update (announcement) on the totalwar website indicates that tech specs for this game are somewhat equal to MTW>>> what do you guys think?
I mean // I was worried about a huge upgrade.

dalemire

The perfect future project for Total War is Tekumel, the Empire of the Petal Throne. This world has been around as long or longer than Middle Earth, and its nations are far more ancient and interesting than those in Tolkien. They are an amazing synthesis of everything non-Western. Imagine people who appear to be the ethnic equivalent Egyptians, Mayans, Mughal Indians, etc... (i.e., black haired, coppery complected) organized into legions of Heavy Infantry, Medium Infantry, Archers, Crossbowmen, Artillerymen, etc... and supplimented by intelligent non-humans and also by battlefield magic. Military tradition stretches back tens of thousands of years. Battles are intricate dances of formations and counterformations. The Total War engine could have a real heydey http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Edit: I deleted the second of your double post - Gregoshi

Oberiko

01-21-2003, 06:07

I don't think Tekumel would work well at all.

I'm no fantasy buff, but I do know that when I haven't heard of something then it's pretty niche.

At least with Tolkien everyone and their grandmother has seen the movies.

Gregoshi

01-21-2003, 07:22

Hi dalemire. Welcome to Entrance Hall: Total Org.

Petal Throne might be too much of a niche product to get the attention of CA. However, should they ever license the engine, perhaps a small company would take the chance to cater to such a niche.

Oberiko

01-21-2003, 16:17

True, but I doubt they'd ever license out the engine. Perhaps I'm simply short-sighted, but I can't see how another company could use it without becoming a direct competitor to the established franchise.

I'm pretty sure that if a game is to be made using this universe, it'll have to be a fan production.

Just to reiterate what I've said elsewhere: the in-development version of Rome: Total War runs on my 18-month-old laptop perfectly happily, just as Medieval: Total War and Viking Invasion do. The framerate is more than acceptable on a PIII/900 with a GeForce 2 Go video card.

Hope that puts a few people's minds - and trembling wallets - to rest on the subject of needing a monster PC to play the game. You won't.
