You can look at the system requirements for each game on the Steam store page for each game....

The Wikipedia page for the Total War franchise shows you the order the games were released, which can help you to see at a glance which games require more advanced computers:

You're claiming that a computer that can run RTW & M2TW can't run STW or MTW which have lower system requirements?

TamrielGamer, I suggest you don't trust Inardesco, and instead check the system requirements for yourself.

He can't run the games. They're software and at best inanimate objects. So the best he can do is either throw 'm like a frisbee or install and play them on his laptop. I was really really sleepy when I answered that XD.

Next to that, if he already runs Medieval 2 on low, then he can only play the older games with slightly better settings and none of the "newer" games. It's basic math really.

i can run medieval 2 with best settings with almost no lag, and im pretty sure i can run shogun to at lower settings, but i was asking because steams system requirments have been inacurate before

[Inardesco]

If you can run Shogun 2, then most likely you can also play Empire and Napoleon Total War. These use the same engine as Shogun 2 but are older games. Rome 2 however, will be an issue of trial and error, you can use the 2hour-refund for that to try it out, same with Fall of the Samurai.

How much RAM?

In my [arrogant] opinion, basically everything comes down to is RAM. CPU helps, as does a shiny graphics card, but the more RAM the better.

2 GB RAM and a shoddy laptop will just run M2 on low settings (because that's my laptop. :P) Anything better means you can turn the graphics (and Unit Size) up.

R1 TW hates Windows 10. You're bound to get some form of huge lag somewhere. For me, it's only assaulting settlements. Defending? Fine. Campaign map? Fine. Field? Fine.

WH:TW will basically need a god machine to run :P

IDK much about any of the others...

I have a Probook with simmilar Proccesor and Graphics (+8gig ram) and I can run it at smooth 60fps when the game is set to highest, except unit details are a bit lower as I did experiance fps drops in big battles.

I didn't but u guess I could run it on medium quite smoothly.
Edit; I did try Empire once and it ran nicely with everything max but units and shadows.

Until you get to the very real ram caps that make ram pointless above a certain number of gigs to gaming software.
