These are for the demo, of course, but only the hard drive space req should change for the real thing.

I'd expect that if you want to play the game without lag it'll require a great deal more than that.

I expected that Civ3 would incorporate a tactical screen similar to Shogun. Strangely, its gone the other way. The tactical game has incorporated better and better strategy while CIV3 has remained static (if not gone backward) in terms of tactical play.

EDIT: I couldnt leave that spelling error

I found the 'recommended' specs a few weeks ago (sorry I forgot where) and they wern't that bad, *apparently* it's doesn't take that much more resources than Medieval to run well

The strategy side of the game looks much more complex and 'civ-like'. Its virtually a different game from that point of view.

Oh my god, I love the graphics. It definitely contributes to the atmosphere when Roman light infantry is thrown fifty meters through air by an elephant.

Screenshots: http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/anttinor/images/rtw/

Edit: Image #1 was taken at 800x600, no high details shadows, medium unit detail, medium terrain detail. The rest were taken at 1024x768 with everything at maximum (something was at High instead of Very High, I forget what). The top notch settings ran pretty well on my rig, it got a bit sluggish when zooming in. I have a Radeon 9600 (128 MB), 512 megabytes of DDR RAM, and an Athlon XP 2500+ for a processor.

The demo has two battles, the first is a guided one as the Romans against the Gauls, the on-your-own battle is as Hannibal and his coalition against the Romans in the Battle of river Trebia.

The play system is pretty much like Medieval, having played that I was right at home.

Yeah, the torrent went down, apparently. Fortunately the demo is supposed to go to general distribution today.

Thanks for the screenshots Kass! My system is pretty similiar to yours, so I guess I can expect similiar results.

I started the download before leaving for work, so I'll see how it runs tonight...
