Can i run it
inow my other parts can but my graphics card is a Intel(HD) 520 i think it should run on minimum right?

also is it worth buying cuz 60$ is quite alot for a game (to me i know it the average)
is there magic people? there always cool

However, instead of asking a bunch of people on a forum that will never actually know if you can run it or not (every computer is different, even with identicle parts), you would be far better off buying the game, running the benchmark, and getting a refund if you can't run it. As long as you don't spend 2 hours benchmarking you can do a full return with no questions asked. Although, again, you probably can't run it. If you can't spare the $60 to try to benchmark, it is safer to assume you will not be able to run it.

Mine computer meets recommanded system requirements (CPU is minimally worse GPU exceeds alot) and FPS is terrible on map Campaign and not impressive during battles.

Dont buy it.

If you dont mind different background buy yourself Shogun 2.

It would have been useful to know what CPU you have, as that counts just as much as the GPU in gauging potential performance.

However, I just did a quick search on the matter, found a yt vid, someone with an i5 6200U and HD 520. They were managing around 30 fps with settings on ultra low and at 720p.
This was with Warhammer 1 though.
With the performance deficit going from Warhammer 1 to 2 (30% at same settings in my case, on a desktop that handily exceeds the recommended requirements for either, my laptop fares even worse) I'd guess Warhammer 2 may be virtually unplayable with those specs, likely even with a higher clocked/core count laptop CPU, with HD 520 still. There were probably no Warhammer 2 benchmarks for that reason.

The vid:

If you decide to go for it (or any other game) this vid might help with tweaking/optimising Intel HD graphics:
