I have all settings on ultra and it has been running smooth. I did not try the demo so I don't know how it compares.

Looks like an interesting game. Is it like Age of Empires where it's a strategy game and you controll units on a map, or are you an individual person in the game?

It is like age of empires but it is turn based. And armies are much larger. Wink

The battles are not turn based but the campaign is.
