Hello, I'm new here, and I'm trying to decide whether to buy Empires or not. I have Rise of Nations and I like it very much, but I think that the civs are not unique enough and that the small pop limit is annoying. I've heard that Empires is 3d, has a very big pop cap and very good models. So does it lag? Or are those models sprites in the game? Do you need a very good graphics card for Empires? Because i don't know anything about graphics cards. By the way, I ahve the SP demo, but I don't understand anything and the missions are impossible for me... there's no tutorial in the demo is it?

Hi 2Biaz. No, it doesn't lag, RoN lags much more. What rate of FPS are you getting on RoN? Your computer should be able to play it. I don't think there is a tutorial for the demo. Not sure if there is one in the game...I think. I should check that out.

if everyone has broadband or cable it will rarely lag. there is a slight lag when some1 goes from imperial age to ww1 and all their citzens and buildings are being replaced with the modern counter-parts. sometimes it lags but with a good host most ppl have low pings.
even if you dont go online there are 3 campaigns in the game and then some 1 scn campaigns for download here.
just dont play random maps because the AI is very bad and simply cheats to make armies.
