Radiance1979: Not the point? your the one talking about total warhammer as a light game... that can be only said from an easy low res perspective. I'm correcting you good sir that is the point
eric5h5: You're not "correcting" anything, and continue to miss the point. Total War: Warhammer includes integrated graphics in the minimum GPU specs. This is a fact, it's not something that can be debated. Obviously it's not going to run at high settings at 120fps on integrated graphics. Again, not the point. Since you seem to be having a hard time, I'll spell it out: there doesn't seem to be a good reason why Fantasy General II should be limited to the last couple generations of discrete GPUs, when other games with comparable or better graphics run on a much wider array of hardware.
gmx: Also what are "minimal requirements"? That game will run at all or be playable on totally subjective level by devs?
eric5h5: It's what the devs support for running the game. If you have hardware below min specs and write to them complaining the game doesn't run well or at all, you can't reasonably expect anything other than "too bad" as a reply. Some of it is technical (running at all), some of it is subjective (running well enough to be playable in the opinion of the devs).
Well if you spell it out like that you seem to be completely ignorant of rendering tools and worldbuilders used by developers
The fact that stating it is oke for : ..................... without any form of testing
anyway
i do have to admit that i was talking about Warhammer 2 and then specifically with the Mortal Empires campaign in mind. Just started up the wood elf story campaign and even on high/ultra settings antialias times 2 it reaches 60 fps with ease with about 50% powerconsumption on my 1060 3 Gb gpu and between 20 to 50 % cpu use ( ryzen 5 2600 at 3,9 ghz and 32 gb's of ram )
Is minimal playable : yes
do you want to avoid playing at minimum specs at all costs : yes
so once again... you can reject my correction but in the end what truly matters is how does it work for you and i can garantuee you, because this sits high with me ( mainly because of the unseen factors at work here, such as system maintenance, comfortabel feeling and like it or not ... the load of the game that changes, grows with every new addition. don't forget the games specs reflect the specs during first release )
So i do hope you understand my problem with your way or reasoning. I'm sure you have your own experience from which you base these statements and perse want to reflect your problem with others. I'm also sure that you are right from within the boundaries of what is stated ( specs )
To give a minor example from my total war rome II experience
When i upgraded my gpu from a 770 2 gb to a 1050Ti 4 gb ( not really an upgrade i know ) i noticed different behaviour with pikemen which in turn became a reason to use pikemen differently
