Whatever else one can say about the game (especially its historicity), R:TW certainly looks set to raise the bar in graphics and scope for real-time strategy games. It's visuals look set to be mouth-wateringly good.<br>
<br>
Must say I am raaather sceptical about their claims that the game will be playable in all its glory with reasonably performance on normal machines, but we'll see - they've impressed me before. <p>Strategy <br>

Now, supposedly any decent video card - say a Ti4200 or above - draws 3D figures more efficiently than 2D sprites.<br>
<br>
So...R:TW (even w/ increased graphics overhead) will give you comparable performance to M:TW via these efficiences.<br>
<br>
I hope they're right here.<br>
