One m/c was AMD athlon xp 2000+ (1.67GHz) 512 MB ram, with replacement (not sure exactly what) graphics card.
Other was early pentium 2.4 with about 1GB ram and ATI 9600+ series (can't remember exactly what) 128mb graphics card.

I'd generally vote for if you can run vanilla on huge settings you should be OK for this on large - but don't shoot me if I'm wrong!

Im yet to try rome on huge, but ill test it out later, though i dont actually have vanilla installed, but RTG (rome total gameplay) there doesnt seem to be much difference int he mechnaics, so ill test it out later, and if ti goes well ill be giving this sweet looking mod a download!
Thanks for the help Makanyane!

I just tried RTW huge, a message came up saying i was over the recommended number of on screen characters, but i continued anyway, and it worked! Wasnt as smooth as usual, but definetly better than ATW, still very playable, so either tommorrow night or in the week (when im not working) ill be downloading this sexy looking mod

*puts gun away in drawer* consider yourself lucky!

Oh and, you know the loading screen with the maiden lyrics? My friend and I were in the pub, trying to work out what it was for about 4 hours the other night lol, and just as i was leaving i realised it was Die With your Boots on lol!

Had the chance to download it just yesterday, now I´m doing a Francia campaign

So far, I´ve managed to conquer almost all of the French lands, however, the Kingdom of Albion and me went to war over the privilege to besiege Burgo.
My favourite unit are the Illuminati Knights, they´re devastating, every unit I come across is hired immediately.

I really like the recruitment system, by the way, with the weaker units being replaced by stronger ones. It encourages the diversification of my settlements (since the exp 1 pikes rule the battlefield).

I wonder, will you make an update for EoD, with new units, I mean? For if you do, I think crossbows wouldn´t feel out of place, as well as having a cannon would be neat, it would fit very well into the setting, in my opinion.

Glad your enjoying it...watch out though, there is a nasty supprise that affects the Francia more than any other faction....Cannons were on the list of things to do, though only for the Shambhala, but in the end it became a bit of 'to much effort for to little payoff', so they were cut, might have a fiddle with them but probably not....There is talk of a follow up/exspansion but not for some time..

Another nasty surprise? Having Wien doing a Loyalist revolt and thus plunging me into war with the Satanae again - with whom I had allied before to fight off Albion - was nasty enough, those loyalist revolts tend to ruin my strategic planning a lot lately, first one in FATW, now this...

Anyways, the first Satanae attempt to take Wien ended with a... surprise, my garrison of barely 600, all militia level, managed not only to hold back an experienced and well equipped Satanae army of nearly 2,000 men, but to utterly crush it. Those Militia Pikes are worth their weight in gold several times over.

Forget about the cannon idea, it was a wild shot, since the implementation seemed simple enough, from what I´ve seen in the Citadel or Warhammer mod.

Yup, defending a town with a lot of pikemen should generally give you a win, especially if you do so by placing your men around the town center, there's not much we could do to prevent that, however i do wonder what year your at, up until around 710 the units your facing are the middle order for most factions, i doubt you'll hold that town once the Satanae start recruiting top order units. I've definatly lost a couple of battle like that.
