    Question EB Requirements

    I just want to ask something, what is the minimum requirements for playing EB 1.1 (hope to download 1.2 soon) on multiplayer?

    My desktop can play it quite well and without major problems (pentium 2,8 Ghz dual core, RAM 2 GB, VGA 512 MB), but now I want to install on my notebook too... (Core2Duo 1,83Ghz, RAM 1 GB, no VGA card)

    If these specs are enough, just how to configure the multiplayer game? I want to play EB with my cousins...

    Thanks

    2GB is ideal for EB. 1GB is sufficient for most, at least if you're not running Vista. You may get poor performance with "no VGA card" though.

    To play multiplayer, install the Trivial Script (installed with 1.1, not 1.2) and use that to switch to multiplayer EB.

    And what unit size that is ideal for "no VGA card" notebook? I spare +/- 200 mb of RAM as video memory's share in this computer. I was used to play with Large unit size, "normal" ones only has 30 units per elite units and slingers, quite annoying if I must face 60 men of fierce barbarians with just 30, even the most elite spartiates (i just want them had 2HP as in vanilla), or epilektoi hoplitai, they will easily get flanked... 60 men vs 240 men has a better chance to stand than 30 men vs 120 men... but if I got crash in my notebook, I will obviously turn into the "normal" unit size...

    BTW, thanks for your reply...

    You can easily try which settings makes the performance good enough. Just try it. I'm pretty sure it will run like a charm on Tiny .

    My notebook crashed when I play single full stack army vs single full stack army in "Large" settings... even on singleplayer .... but "Normal" unit size can be played quite well (with all details are medium / low)

    Many thanks...

    I think the video card is the bottleneck here. It's not easy to upgrade in a notebook, I presume (I haven't actually gutted a laptop myself, only my tower PC), so I think you'll have to make do with normal unit size.
