Will this game run on Macbook Air M1 2020?

I tested the game in the weekend on my gaming PC, and everything was fine on windows. Now, my question is, will this work on Macbook Air M1 base model 2020, with 8 GB Ram? I plan to buy one or two games for when I am traveling. Is this game M1 native? Thank you very much!

it will, but on minimal settings and not great because, among other things, it needs 16 gb for proper run and even then it's so CPU heavy that it won't help much. And it is also badly optimised.

itll run for about the first 50 years pretty good and then itll start to slow down and eventually become unplayable not because of "lag" necessarily but because the game starts to progress so slowly due to days becoming slower.

Nah, i have a notebook with 8gb, can´t go to the 1850 -

Sometimes I play on my Studio M1 Max (32 GB of RAM) - on the lowest settings it's pretty laggy, especially in mid and late game, so I guess it will be unplayable on Air.

Ok... So I guess it's a no go for me... Should I try another Paradox game? Or none of the games have a native M1 version that would run on this laptop? I have heard CK3 is even worse... and I guess the older games are not Apple M compatible. Maybe I can run HOI4 but it is not native (or at least I don't think it is). Would have enjoyed Vic3 or CK3, but I guess they won't work. Call me crazy but that laptop is way faster and better than my gaming PC for everything else even if it is older and also cheaper. Everything runs flawless, but for a 2020-2022 Paradox game, you need something better than a 2020 laptop, and that is a little bit surprising for me. I used to play HOI2 on a potato PC, but yeah, those days are gone.
