Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
I have this CPU and apparently it isn't good enough for Recommended? Will the game run terribly?

I have - GeForce GTX 1070 card and 16g ram?

I'm sure it will be ok, certainly not the best though.

I'm playing Beta with my sometimes bottleneck i5-4670k 3.4ghz in high settings just fine.

You'll be fine. Just put your graphics on medium instead of high (or high instead of very high) and set the max units per battle to 300 instead of 2000.

OR you could set it to 20,000 instead and turn your computer into a nice space heater.

I used to be able to do that in winter with an old PC, back around 2011-ish. I can't remember what graphics card I had but I bought the PC in 2011 and it was using all the most up to date hardware and it had a very good card for its time. When I played Shogun 2: Total War, the heat that came out of the back of my graphics card exhaust was enough to heat up my man cave. It was really an incredible thing to feel.

A few degrees warmer and I'm pretty sure we'd have combustion.

Just a FYI. Turning down graphics settings when CPU limited doesn't really do much to help. Then you are asking the CPU for MORE frames. You want the graphics as high as they will go without a significant drop in FPS. Turning down the number of troops will obviously help a lot.

You will have about 7.7% bottleneck with your video card, and heavy geometry and trees will slow you down on that CPU but other than that you should be alright.

Any advice on which settings to turn to low to improve the performance?

I know but the beauty of PC gaming is that often things just don't make any sense. Sometimes your machine is way obsolete for a game but somehow it runs smooth as silk on high graphics settings. Other times you're way over the recommendeds and it runs like crap. Other times turning off or on (or up or down) a completely insignificant graphical option that shouldn't have any impact on anything ever will have an enormous impact on your FPS.

Remember when Crysis came out and people were saying they couldn't even run it on medium settings despite having new gaming rigs? My PC was 3 and a half years old at the time and I could run it on a mixture of high and medium settings with a solid 60 FPS. I shouldn't have been able to do that but I could. And it was glorious!

The Crysis memes were just that, memes. Crysis was actually not that demanding unless you set everything to max, in which case it is still rather demanding considering its age.

There were memes of course but people really did have problems running it. If I remember right it was the first game ever to recommend a whole 2 GB's of RAM (or was it 4? I forget). I had two 512 sticks of RAM and a single core processor in, like I said, a 3 and a half year old PC that was way obsolete for it, and I was still running it at 60 FPS with textures on high, some other things on high and some on medium.

I spent a lot of time on Teamspeak in those days with my WoW guild and a lot of them had up to date PC's that couldn't run it as good as mine did.
