    Default Minimum System Requirements for 1.0

    I have not seen the minimum system requirements posted anywhere. I have had more than a fair share of CTDs with 0.81a, probably because EB taxes my system to its limits. Just had a persistent one that killed my Pontos campaign (GRRRRRR).

    Good time to update to 1.0, but will my machine run it?

    Got a Sempron 2500+ processor, 1.5 GB memory and an NVidia GeForce 6200 videocard.

    Will that work?

    It sounds like it would....but if you were taxed to the limit by .8x....yikes. Turn off the clouds, campaign shadows, and any other frills (like the dust in the battle maps, which slows my machine down too much )

    I hope you can play, but .8x is still good times.

    I've got only an 1500 processor, 1GB RAM with a shared memory grafic card and EB 1.0 runs fine. It's a bit laggy sometimes and there might be a crash after hours and hours of playing, but I never had a persistent CTD.

    My comp is similar too, I turn off / minimize all graphics (& the music, though THAT hurts me a bit), but it works fine except for lagging from time to time. Had my first CTD yesterday after hours of playing.
    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

    Minimum system requirements aren't that easy to determine.
