Will a 650M in a laptop run this?

They have said that lower end laptops etc (ie Haswell with Iris 5200, 650M) should be able to play the game fine.

How does Shogun 2 play on the 650M? I can't imagine it being too different from that at medium graphics settings. It plays ok on my 260M.

Need a new laptop myself in the next month or so...

I know this game is an rts not a military simulator but do hope they make it so formations such as the Macadeon Phalanx can't be got at from the front. In Rome 1 Roman infnatry were able to walk inbetween the spears to attack the soliders at the front of the Phalanx when in reality thi s nigh on impossible.

I'm going to crush those Roman slaver scum beneath the boot heel of SPARTACUS!

Oh and then I'll probably enslave them.

I wonder if the Spartans will have an option for big homo orgies to boost the provice's happiness like they were notorious for

Well yes, my 'cultural' wonder will be bi monthly mass homo erotic rave parties.

I started to get excited about this but Sega are really starting to take the p**s with launch day DLC.

Other than the Greek States Culture pack, what other 'launch day' DLC is there?

Take a laptop. :cool:

What's the best price going round at the moment with the DLC included? £27 on GMG seems the best offer I have seen yet.

Thats a pretty good price. Amazon had the preorder for £26 a few weeks back, which is the cheapest I think it has been without codes/vouchers.

Pre-ordered on steam

Darujhistan · 3 Aug 2013 at 13:26

Gonna pre-order this week I think. Only a month to go.

What are the Steam rules on this. If I did take a laptop, installed steam and then installed RTW2 on laptop, then came home and installed the game on my gaming machine.

Is this allowed?
