I was growing tired of the small little 40 man units, but I thought my computer couldn't handel anything larger due to its only 64 mb Nvidia g-force4. I was promised spectacular battles that would make your eyes pop out, but instead I was playing normal less than better than MTW battles. Finally I got tired of it, and threw away the advice that my computer counldn't handle the huge settings and play a real battle. Going to the custom battle, I played as the Juli, with 100,000 money, selected all early leginary first chorts, and prayed as I started the battle my computer wouldn't blow up.

I started the game and to my surprise, it ran perfect, and WOW what a battle. 16 minutes later I barely beat a valored up Chartharage army of Iberian Infantry. Now this is why I bought the game!

My first question is why does the game tell me I can't handle a battle I can. Sure the unit detail was low, but I don't play TW for the graphics, I play it for the battles.

My second question, How in the world do u handle that large of a roman army?

But my piece of advice, If your thinking about going to a larger size, and afraid to do so because of the games warnings. Just give it a try, and I saw no downgraded performance at all, even with flaming arrows in later test.
