Joan of Arc Review - PAGE 1
Gabriel Vega - Thursday, March 11th, 2004


The hundred years war is one of those events that for most games seems impossible to perform without losing the interest of most audiences, often RTS games are left to handle the task with huge legions of sprites and slowdown or limited access over troops. Wars & Warriors: Joan of Arc takes on a new perspective with realtime battles and troop controls. While the game itself plays amazing, it also has some heavy demands on the system to see the true potential of the game. The specs are below so lets check them out.

Minimum Requirements:

OS: Win 98,2000,ME,XP (NT & 95 Not supported)
CPU: 800Mhz Pentium III or processors of the same grade
Memory: 256MB RAM
CD-ROM: 4x CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drive
Hard Drive Space: 1.1GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 2, ATI Radeon or 3D cards of the same grade
Other Needs: Direct X 8 compatible sound card, keyboard & mouse

Recommended Requirements:

1.5Ghz Pentium III or processors of the same grade
Nvidia GeForce 3 or above, ATI Radeon 8500 or above or other 3D cards of the same grade

As you can see this gets pretty nuts. I was running an 8500LE at normal 8500 Speeds and it struggled quite a bit to push full detail with moderate settings, the levels are huge, so take some caution when setting things up. Go mild then skip up until you find a spot where it's suitablne. The game provides a handy video section to adjust details for the background and the dynamic grass. Using these it can eliminate quite a bit of the slowdown. With all the requirements and little tweak notes lets get moving!
