Yeah except windows 95, and probably 98 too.
Rome will only work with the Windows XP.

Nope it will work from 98 and upQuote:

It Best Work With 98!
Rome: Total War needs Windows 98SE or later; that's the official word. So none of you need fret that it's exclusive to XP. ~:) You will need DirectX 9b.
OK?
thank you for clearing that up, but while you're at it would it be possible to elaborate a bit more on the overall required/recommended system specs. As far as i know there still isn't 'official word' on the exact specs needed? Thanks in advance.Quote:

Wanted to emphasize that key word. And it would have been nice for the reviewer to post his system specs and comment on some tech aspects like;Quote:

Barkhorn.
Barkhorn1x has a point there... We may - most likely do - have very different definitions for the word minimum in this context.
My mimimum requirements: system required to play Rome: Total War at 1024x768 (maybe possibly perhaps 800x600) reasonably smoothly (circa 20-25 frames/sec) with default unit sizes.
Possible mimimum requirements: system required to install Rome: Total War. Play functionality not supported. ~:p
I'm looking forward to it all the same.
It's not illegal to mirror a demo without written consent from the publishers, is it? It is a demo after all...
