Its a shame really, as it would be a lot of fun if they got co-op working proper. Pretty much cannot get past 4 turns, even in shogun 2. It, like all versions of co-op campaign, is buggy as hell. I just find it difficult to believe you could have less than a 2.2 Ghz processor, less than 2 GB of RAM and be able to run the game well even with a really good 512 MB vidcard. Open the game and in total war online youll now have the option to play play campaign with a buddy. It runs, and at a decent ramerate, but on minimum settings, it looks terrible, sub-MTW untill you zoom right in on something.Ĭomparitively, I can run MII on near max settings, and it looks beautiful and never has any slowdown.

CPU SPEED: 2 GHz Intel Dual Core processor / 2.6 GHz Intel Single Core processor, or AMD equivalent (with SSE2) RAM: 1 GB RAM (XP), 2 GB RAM (Vista / Windows7) OS: Windows 7 / Vista / XP.
