    Default Which of the TW series games should be playable on my notebook?

    Long time lurker first time poster...

    Hello dear community,

    I sold my last true gaming pc years ago and traded my crappy old thinkpad for a new notebook earlier this year. Didn't try running a lot of games on it during summer (I'm not that nerdy anymore), but with all those rainy days here in Europe and winter right around the corner I started playing again.

    I started my journey through the TW series with rome 1 and right now I'm playing Medieval 2 grand campaign (turks), but after having seen a ton of Rome2 videos on YT I do feel the urge to play a TW game with a more modern user interface.

    Sure, I don't except that Rome 2 will run decently on my notebook (that's something I will play if I ever get my hands on a proper gaming PC again), but what about all the other TW releases that came out after medieval2? Knowing that the system requirements released by the publishers aren't that great of a information source, my hope is that I could get a better feedback from the community that actually played all those games (or still plays them) on all kind of machines.

    So here are the specs of the system I'm running:

    Acer Aspire Timeline U laptop

    Intel i5-3317U CPU (2 cores, 3MB cache 2.4ghz with turbo boost active)
    4 GB RAM
    Geforce GT 640M LE with 1GB of dedicated DDR5 RAM
    120GB SSD

    Does anyone has some experience running Empire, Napoleon and esp. Shogun 2 on a notebook (or system with similar power)? I should also add that I use a 23" screen along with my notebook, but I don't mind playing with medium graphics or not running the max resolution the screen can offer.
