    yes.



    It's a great game, if you like RTS games. It has many great features, a great story line, great cinematics, and if get tired of the standard game, there are loads of really great(and original) custom games on battle.net.

    addictive.

    you've been warned.

    Just make sure that it will run smoothly on your computer. A 32 MB graphics card is needed to have the game be playable.

    Seriously...I tortured myself playing it on my 8mb vram iMac, I got to the last level, but then the computer couldn't take it anymore.



    the game is sooooooooooo much better on a nicer computer.

    Love it, we should start an appleinsider tiered team on there on battle.net I'm pretty sure we'd kick ass.

    Make sure you got atleast a 32 Mb grafix card and 500 Mhz, then youre set to go!

    And 500 MHz anything is bare minimum. I'd say 1Ghz is recommended!

    I have an eMac 700Mhz processor, 32MB graphics thingy geforce2, and 128 MB of RAM. Loading takes too long and lagging really sucks, please HELP!

    No one here can solve that problem for you. It's gonna take a little bit of cash. Drop in some more ram, go for a 512mb stick. Ram will be key, get more, and fast! Your graphics card should be fine, but you might want to set the game at a lower resolution and adjust the graphics performance to something lower than the best, and with only 32mb of graphics memory I would say the settings should be pretty low, you'll have to live with the reduction of quality. This will keep your graphics card from being too taxed as well as the game will run better. If you set the graphics performance lower that should solve many of your problems as this game should run relatively well on a 700mhz computer.



    And in the future, start a new post with your problem in it, don't thread jump, it's common courtesy. Welcome to AI!

    128 MB really isn't enough RAM to even run OS X so I have no idea why Apple sells configurations with it. You'll notice a substantial boost if you up it some.

    I just bought it tonight, I did 1 custom game in frozen throne. Its nice. It reminds me a lot of starcraft, i didnt really play warcraft 2. I bought the battlechest set for 47 dollars, (regular 50 but i get 10% off).

    How many people on here play TFT regularly? Maybe if we get enough people we could start our own AI clan. I'm on US East under the name RandNum. Anyone intrested post something in here and I'll check back.
