Is this game uglier than RTW?

I think it looks much better on the higher end comps, which is what it was built for. My computer is out of date but I could run Rome at lower graphics settings. When I tried the MTW demo it didnt even load... So obviously theyve raised the bar in some ways. It did look stunning on my brother's new 1500$ Dell tho, but even on that comp I could not run it on max settings with noticble FPS decline, so I guess you really need a new top of the line gaming rig for that.

If you need the best gaming comps to run it now, I dont see how you can ask for more graphics. Keep in mind there are thousands of soldiers on screen, more details = lower FPS and then you'll be turning down the graphics anyways.

Mines's not a monster rig - only pretty good and everything's maxed out. It's an FX-55 @ 2750MHz, 2Gb RAM @ 250MHz, 512Mb X1900XT. You can get much faster rigs with the new Core2Duo setups for not a lot of money

Bwah, depends on what you'd define as a monster rig, Except for your graphicscard, You got the system of a very serious gamer.

I mean, the fact that Intels C2Ds are faster, doesn't make an fx-55 a slow processor by any means
