My computer does a fine job on Rome Total War, and a fair job on Medieval Total War 2, but EB taxes it to the extreme, and at a certain point in it's campaigns will just CTD when I press end turn.
Will EB 2 be much harder on computers then Medieval Total War 2? I love the EB concept, and thought it was unbelievably fun while it lasted, but tech problems do hurt an otherwise wonderful mod.
You can test with a mod for M2TW.
Deus lo Vult for the scripts. Note: the CTD happens sometimes on DLV.
Rusichi for its wonderful units.
Stainless Steel 6.1 for a complete mod game. It's a good test.
Broken Crescent is also quite good.
M2TW at least is more stable then RTW, I've had a lot less CTD's.
That's for sure. I think the only game I play that's more CTD heavy than RTW is Morrowind.Quote:

I wouldn't hold your breath on that, I've always had lots of lag in large M2TW siege battles, despite the fact that a similarly sized field battle gives me no problems.Quote:

My solution is large unit size, as opposed to huge, and that solves everything for me- I can max out all the graphics settings just as long as I keep the unit size at large. RAM upgrades can also help a lot.
I can't and/or won't give away anything about EB2 here, but we have of course observed some of the very script-heavy mods like DLV and SS, and have tried to mind some less complex solutions.
Eb2 will short-circuit your entire PC.:clown:
If you can run smoothly m2tw then you'll sure run Eb2 quite smoothly too however due to the new features added CTD might occur in certain situations...
