Didn't we already have a discussion that good gameplay can overcome slight graphic problems. Though I don't know exactly what you are referring to.

What? The graphics are fine.
Even if the graphics were bad, it would barely affect the game play at all.
It's the thrill of taking over half of a weaker empires cities and having them beg for mercy for you to decide if they live or not. Then another superior country is discovered across the sea and you get stuck in a war that tests your strength. It's an awesome game.

What are you talking about? How can you say that?

Oh, thats why.
Just saying, if you play the game/demo on Windows XP or just DirectX 9, the game will not allow you to choose settings higher than "medium". It requires DirectX 10 to go any higher up, and DirectX 11 (with a DX11-working GPU) in order to go to the highest with tessellation (which looks REALLY awesome on the terrain).
The game itself is very fun, I love it and can't stop playing. My only irk is that the game is subject to many crashes and I am 100% suspecting its the game's coding having some incompatibility with my hardware.
