it should do, it is quite an old game, your specs are well over minimum.it doesnt have much graphic proccesing, it may take a while to load between turns, but it will play ok.
 
yeah. Got Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium on my laptop with 1.9 ghz processor etc, and works fine with no probs. Just to get smoothest performance, I turn down the unneccessary details on graphics

Thanks, i tried that "can you run it" site thingy.. and it doesnt know because its an old game and it doesnt know (because of the OS) which is annoying because i dont know if i can run Gears Of War either (HUGE fan of GoW.. not so much GoW2) lol thanks for the info though

i looked on that thing i just posted.. and also windows compatability centre, and it said that on 64 bit it doesnt (i soo hope its wrong) ive also got age of empires 3... but thats another story for another day ;)
 
O that thing I never use-it is garbage yeah. But I really think it should work to be honest. If you're not sure about other games, there's a "can you run it" type programme at Yougamers-can give you the link if you want. I find it much more accurate

Just to tried to use it myself and its down for some reason. sorry. If it says it doesn't work on 64-bit, I'd look around a bit more to double check. Hope it does work for ya though-it is a great game

There you go. It's the usual pick the game from the drop down tab. For some reason its not working for me though. Would be a lot better if there was a demo version to try out though. Good luck
 
Yeah it's still not working for me either. Soz bout that.


is all good - i got it to work in the end :D (after man many hours figuring out why i was missing a MSS32.DLL file :()...

How do you unlock factions? I ccant remember seen as it was 5 years ago since i last played the game lol

Conquer them in game, or take the more obvious way around it and edit the descr_campaign_main file (IIRC).

so to play as britannia... i would have to crush them? (doing it liegit?)

to be fair... i know they are stupid questions, but last time i played this game i was 13-14 so yeah lol
 
Best of an extremely awesome series of games. Can't wait for Shogun II and am eargerly anticipating when/ if they announce Rome 2. Would rather they make mistakes (like they did on empire) and then fix them (like they did on Napolean) so Rome 2 would be played on a polished version of the Shogun II engine
