I've had MTW for half a year now. Played RTW demo, didn't like it. I've read a few Barbarian Invasion reviews and want to try it out. Do I need original RTW to play it, or is it a stand alone expansion?
I've got a PIII 1000, 128mb, and a GeForce 2 32mb. I really don't mind bad looking graphics, MTW level would be just fine... so will I be able to play it on this comp? How scalable is the graphics in the game?
I can't help much with the technical stuff but barbarian invasion is part of the RTW game rather than a stand alone so you would have to buy both. Check in the technical forums to see if your computer will cope with the game- you might get away with the lowest graphics settings if you are lucky.
Try BI demo..
My system is about twice as fast as yours and I still get choppy framerates for big battles. Maybe if you'd play on small unit size, but I doubt it's much fun that way.
Game requires a 64 meg video card.
I have a considerably faster system, and the game is choppy at times, and my graphics aren't terribly high. I wouldn't buy it if I were you, sadly the eye-candy is the best part of the game...
